Swiss rail passes and tickets: your complete guide
Use our rail pass finder to quickly select the best pass or ticket for your Switzerland trip: from the Swiss Travel Pass to point-to-point tickets, and everything in between.
Point-to-point tickets or day passes are fine for short journeys on just a few days. In most other cases, a rail pass pays off.
Nation-wide passes such as the Swiss Travel Pass and the Swiss Half Fare Card are most popular with tourists.
Regional rail passes are a good choice if you want to explore just one Swiss area.
Even though they’re often called “rail passes”, they’re actually “public transport passes”: they include Swiss trains, buses, boats, and mountain routes.
