Train tickets for the whole Switzerland

We recommend buying the Swiss Half Fare Card only if you purchase or plan to purchase at least six saver day passes or frequently buy connecting tickets for mountain railways. Otherwise, the price difference between the saver day pass with or without the Swiss Half Fare Card usually isn’t worth it. Tip: If you plan to travel on mountain railways, buying a Swiss Half Fare Card quickly pays off. Especially if you want to visit Jungfraujoch, buying the Swiss Half Fare Card alongside using the saver day pass is definitely worthwhile.

Saver day tickets can be an alternative to the Swiss Travel Pass, even if you don't have a Swiss Half Fare Card. The cheapest full-price day ticket costs 52 CHF and can go up to a maximum of 88 CHF. The table below helps you calculate up to which price a saver day ticket is cheaper than the Swiss Travel Pass (STP). The calculations are based on second-class fares without the Swiss Half Fare Card. So, if you find the number of saver day tickets you need at an average price below the values in the table, buying the Swiss Travel Pass is not worth it. Number of Days STP (per day) STP Flex (per day) 3 77 CHF 89 CHF 4 70 CHF 81 CHF 6 60 CHF 64 CHF 8 48 CHF 51 CHF 15 28 CHF 30 CHF So, the longer you stay in Switzerland, the more worthwhile a Swiss Travel Pass becomes. However, if you plan to use public transport for between 3 and 6 days, buying saver day tickets may be cheaper.

The community saver day ticket is available at all counters in Swiss municipalities and cities. It is issued either as a mobile ticket or a paper ticket. You can check the availability of day tickets at spartageskarte-gemeinde.ch. Unlike previous community day tickets, your place of residence no longer matters. You can get the community saver day ticket from any municipality in Switzerland. Basically, the community saver day ticket works the same way as the saver day ticket for public transport: It is personalized and non-transferable. It is valid on the booked day until 5:00 a.m. the next day. It is valid on the entire public transport network in Switzerland, just like the saver day ticket for public transport. It can be purchased from six months up to one day in advance. The earlier you book, the cheaper the prices. The first price level is available up to ten days before the travel day, while the second price level is available up to one day before the travel day. Class and Segment Price Level 1 Price Level 2 2nd class with half-fare card 39 CHF 59 CHF 2nd class without half-fare card 52 CHF 88 CHF 1st class with half-fare card 66 CHF 99 CHF 1st class without half-fare card 88 CHF 148 CHF

However, you can use the day ticket up to Grindelwald, Lauterbrunnen, Mürren, and Wengen, and then buy your ticket from there to the mountain summit.
