    Hi,

    There are various options to purchase Swiss Travel Pass online, which are:

    (1) Rail Europe World, (2) HappyRail Worldwide, (3) SBB Online, (4) Railtour, (5) Klook Worldwide, (6) Rail Europe India.

    Prices are marginally different. Which is the best option ? Is there any difference in usage of SWP obtained from any of these providers ?

    Please advise.

    Hi Devender,

    The retailers you mentioned, and others depending on where you live, are all listed here: http://www.myswissalps.com/sw isstravelpass/price. We only list credible retailers, so the choice is yours. Personally I mainly select on price and convenience (delivery via e-mail rather than physical mail). Sometimes there are promotions that make a particular retailer stand out: http://www.myswissalps.com/sw isstravelpass/promotio ns.

    Thanks Arno,

    Whether there is any time restriction for excursions ? To explain further, whether we can visit Matterhorn or Titlis late in night. We want to have view of Matterhorn during Moonlight, is it possible. Whether train/Cogwheel/Gandola runs till late or there is last time fixed for each of excursion. If so can I get time table of each to finalize our day program.

    Regards

    Use the SBB Timetable (bit.ly/2HH1U7B) to determine the last connections down from the places you want to enjoy the moonlight. If you are not familiar with using the timetable it will pay to first read the instructions on this page – http://www.myswissalps.com/ti metable.

    The various pass providers provide the same STP but they all seem to deliver it differently. Some post it to you physically through the mail (which takes time) while others email it to you. Check their terms and conditions to work out what suits you best.

    i have found the cost (for Australians particularly) varies significantly between the providers so it is worth the time (for me anyway) to do some research.
