Thanks Anna for your suggestion. Appreciate it.

Everything depends on the weather. However, at Zermatt, am planning to go to Gornergrat, Glacier Paradise and Sunnega.

For Pontresina are activities, my youth hostel with provide an Engadin inclusive card which will cover my excursion transportation in the Upper Engadin area.

Do let me know whether to purchase Saver Day passes 60 days in advance or will Berner Oberland Pass + Swiss Half Fare Card suffice.

I believe i better get the Saver Day passes too. Thank you.

I will purchase STP with the promotion.

Questions:

I want to go to Jungfraujoch, First, Harder Kulm. Is the regional pass make sense?. Jungfrau pass or Bernese better?

Do I need local bus passes if I have STP?

Thanks

Hi ChrisK,

With the Swiss Travel Pass, you can get discounted tickets for mountain excursions such as Jungfraujoch, Grindelwald First and Harder Kulm. If you want to completely avoid buying tickets, you can purchase a regional pass such as the Jungfrau Travel Pass or the Berner Oberland Pass. You can buy these passes at a reduced rate if you have a Swiss Travel Pass.

You can find more details in the following links:

Jungfrau Travel Pass: http://www.myswissalps.com/jungfrautravelpass/validity

Berner Oberland Pass: http://www.myswissalps.com/regionalpassberneseoberland/validity

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Anna

Hello Marinella,

Welcome to MySwissAlps.

Your pass would be 11 days in total. 25th May, as the first day and expiring on the 5th June at 5.00am. This would allow you to make any late night travel on the 4th June, if need be after midnight.

Hi Marinella,

Just to make sure: there’s no 11-day pass. You can use the 8-day pass with 2 extra days, having 1o in total. Depending on your plans, you could use normal tickets (https://www.myswissalps.com/traintickets/switzerland) or a Saver Day Pass (https://www.myswissalps.com/saverdaypass) for either the 1st or 11th day of your trip.

Hi

My family and I will be traveling in Switzerland for 7 days. Wondering if there would be a 1 extra day promotion on 6 days first class STP as well?

[Yolanda]

12 April 2023 at 5:07:01 #950096

Hello Ravandrag,

Welcome to MySwissAlps.

Thanks for your question. The answer is ‘no’. The offer applies to the following:

– The 4-day Swiss Travel Pass will have 1 extra travel day for free.
– The 8-day Swiss Travel Pass will have 2 extra travel days for free.

The offer applies to 1st and 2nd class, and to adult and youth passes (for people up to 24 years old).

The offer does not apply to any other passes (3/6/15-day Swiss Travel Pass, Swiss Travel Pass Flex, regional passes, etc.).

I hope this clarifies.

Kind regards,

Yolanda

Can we buy the Swiss Travel Pass at Geneva airport? Like to pay in cash – CHF or Euro. Is there any better online promotion?

Starting 9 days trip from Montreux on April 19.

Thanks for the replies.

Hello sanjeev,

Yes, you can but bear in mind, it could be quite busy. You can always purchase online, and have it ready to go when you arrive. There is a promotion that is expected to start 15 April, more details to follow via our forum.

If you are wanting to purchase beforehand online, please see below link:

Hi sanjeev!

We can never be sure, but we don’t expect a better promotion than this one (free extra travel days for the 4-day and 8-day pass) to come along anytime soon. Overall, I recommend buying online. Reasons are described here: http://www.myswissalps.com/train/ticketspasses/practical/wheretobuy.
