    Hello kedarbarde,

    If you are getting Swiss Travel Passes (the Swiss Pass is a different product not available to tourists) for the adults then you can order a Swiss Family Card for free at the same time. Your kids can then travel with you for free. Best to buy on-line and print at home so you can start to use your pass as soon as you arrive. A number of retailers are listed at http://www.myswissalps.com/sw isstravelpass/price.

    Oh hello Raj,

    If you fill in the details here shop.swissrailways.com /swisspass.html?langua ge=en&currency=CHF you need to include 2 adults and 1 child. That will get an option for a Swiss Family Card.
