Swiss Rail Passes ?

Good Evening fellow Travellers,

Looking for any and all advice on Swiss Rail Passes.

We are traveling to Wengen for 3 nights in July - 2 adults and 2 children (ages 9/12). We need to get up to Wengen, would like to do the Jungfrau Top of Europe trip, have some flexibility to travel between Wengen and Gimmewald , boat cruise in Interlaken on our day of departure. We are then heading to Lausanne (3 nights) ( by car) and planning on doing the "Chocolate Train" and perhaps a boat cruise to Evian.

I have seen the Swiss Family Pass on sale - should we purchase this, 1st or 2nd class or just the half/fare card ?

I am so confused.

Cheers,

Mandy

Hi Mandy. The Swiss Half Fare Card would be fine, as you'll be traveling short distances only.

Hi ,
Does the Swiss Half Fare Card offer discounts on the Chocolate Train, Boat Cruises and the Jungfrau ?

Another question regarding the Swiss Family Rail pass - if we use the pass for Boat Cruises and Jungfrau do those days count at "travel days" ?
Cheers

Hi Mandy. Yes, it's valid for those trips. The. Swiss Half Fare Card page links to a detailed map showing what's covered.

The Swiss Flexi Pass of the special offer allows you to choose your free travel days before you start a trip. It's not the traveling that determines whether a free travel day has been used.

Hi,

I hope this will be my last series of questions for you....I have having a hard time pulling up prices for the Chocolate train...We are a family of 2 adults and 2 kids (ages 10/13) We will buying the Swiss Half Fare Card can advise me on the price ??

Also do you recommend purchasing tickets ahead of time for the train ( I know I seem obsessed with this train but my kids are so excited about it) - but not sure how to do this if we will not be purchasing Swiss Half Fare Card until we arrive in Switzerland

Cheers
