Frequently asked questions

Swiss Travel Pass or Half Fare Card — which one pays off for tourists?
Rule of thumb: if you ride longer routes almost daily, the Swiss Travel Pass is the easiest choice. If you only plan a few excursions, the Half Fare Card is usually cheaper. The finder prices both options against your actual route.
Do the passes cover mountain railways?
Partly. Many mountain lines grant 25 to 50 percent off with the Swiss Travel Pass or Half Fare Card, and some are fully included. The finder only lists such rules when they are verified.
Can I use the finder with a ready-made itinerary?
Yes. Paste your route as text or upload it as a file; the finder detects stations and travel dates automatically and you simply confirm them.
Where do I buy the right pass?
Directly at Swiss Activities: the rail pass overview carries the Swiss Travel Pass, Half Fare Card, Saver Day Pass and regional passes with instant ticket delivery.
