I want to buy one day pass dor unlimited trains and bus in switzerland

Hello, I bought the saver day pass on the SBB website for me and my family. But two of the tickets have the wrong day of birth. The month and year are correct. Will this give me problems using the ticket in Switzerland or is there a way to modify those dates of birth in the ticket reservation? What do they request on trains to use the saver day pass?
Thanks in advance for the help.

I will also have a Eurail pass so a half fare card helps or I need regional pass plus Swiss or half card ? A bit confused so will appreciate your advice @the Travelling Swiss 🙏🏻

Quick question , im travelling to the jungfrau region in august but didnt know what pass to buy if any at all.
We are going for 5 nights and worked out the cost of the train fair to the area from zurich which we have accounted for .
But once we get to the jungfrau region do we really need the pass ?
We are thinking of just paying daily for what we need as the cost of tbe pass for 2 is pretty high.
I mean when looking at train prices on the app from the village we are staying in just outside interlaken the prices to and form neighbouring villages / towns isnt that bad at around 20 to 30 a return .
My real question is do many people board the cable cars and are they expensive? Im not sure whether to bite the bullet and get the pass to allow us on everything stress free or just pay as you go . Any help would be appreciated or advice and info on daily cost of travel in that region

Thank you so much for the great information. I will be traveling soon from France with my family, 2 adults and 2 kids and will be renting a car in France. We are planing to stay in the Jungfrau region for about 4 days. Do you recommend getting any of the passes ? We are planning on going to Grindewald -First. Thanks in advance.

Hi
I will in switzerland for 6 days and with my daughter age 13 years .
My query is if I buy swiss half fare card then do I need to purchase tockets physically or I can buy tickets on sbb app Also ?

My next question after this is if I can buy half fare tocket using sbb app then while buying tockets point to point do I need to include name of my child who is 13 years old or I buy tickets and my child travel free without any ticket and without mentioning any name of my child on SBB app while buying tickets ?
Request to please answer

Hi, I really loved your video and it is very informative. I wanted to ask a question if I buy a 2nd class swiss travel pass can I reserve seats in Prestige coach in the Golden pass express or reserve seat in 1st class in the Belle Epoque train. I am really confused, could you help me provide some clarification.

Is swiss travel pass consider as a hop on and hop off pass too?I will be to Switzerland on Oct 2023

I’m actually thinking considering it gives rain for the 4 days we are there we might just pay as we go as the stuff we wanted to do is 645 but if weather bad may not do some and regardless of pay half fare or Swiss travel could cost more in long run

Swiss day paas will works on all trains like I want to go to mount titlis from Zurich so is this ticket is valid ?

You make THE best informative clips thank you so so much. ❤❤❤

Im traveling to Switzerland next month and purchased a Swiss travel pass but our dates have changed, how do I change the dates of my pass?

We will be in interlaken this coming july. Can we do hop in and hop off using jungfrau

Hello Alexis, thanks for your video, I checked the new half-fare card price, which is 185 CHF for adults. within a year price hike from 120 to 185 really?

Hi. Is it true that the Top of Europe Pass for summer has been discontinued?

Gorgeous

Hello, Alexis and Louis…great video, just wanted to know whether separate 3 day Saver day Pass is good enough for us as a family, if booked early at 52 francs…it’s cheaper than a 3 day Swiss travel pass…we need only train travel, no mountain excursions…plan to visit lauterbrunnen, Wengen, Murren, Grindelwald and take boat rides on Thun and Brienze

I tried to purchase the half fare card today April 22, 2023 but only a 1 year card is available for 185 CHF. I could not find a 1 month half fare card for 120 CHF. Did they discontinue the 1 month option? I see that Malou J just posted 4 days ago that he purchased the half fare card for 120 CHF. Why can't I find it? Any help would be appreciated.

QUESTION: I purchased the Swiss half fare card (120 chf), but on the sbb app, I get the message that my swisspass account is not linked to my Swisspass card. I don't have that card and I don't have the customer number they keep asking.
The tickets prices showed on the sbb app are different from the desk version on my same account. Do I need that Swisspass card, or just the Swiss half fare card with individual ticket purchase at the station? Thanks!

You guys are amazing, I have never come across a video which is as much helpful as this. Crisp and clear information. Thank You!! Expect more videos.

Hi Alexis and Louis we are planning to go to Switzerland in 3 Aug 2023 and will be there for 6 to 7 days. Please help us with our travel to all attractions by public transportation. and the cost

Very good video, right on target! Just two little remarks about trains: it's obviously not the classiest thing to do, but it's not forbidden to spread your feet on the seat in front of you. A lot of people do it (mostly young people, I admit) from time to time.

If you do it, however, it's important to take off your shoes (or put a newspaper under your feet). Under these conditions, no train agent will reproach you.

And of course, you have to free the seat in front when the train fills up! In that It's the same thing for bags and suitcases... Please, no bags on the seat next to you or in front of you when the train is filling up, it's basic courtesy... and yet even at rush hour, some people wait for passengers to ask them if they can sit down to finally remove their bags. This is inexcusable!

The second thing is, buying your train ticket in advance allows you to save a lot of money indeed, but not as much as you make it seem in the video. Most of the time, the discount is between 20 and 50% if you buy it more than a week in advance. In some rare cases, you can get 60% off, but I've never seen three times less than the regular price!

Hi guys, is there another official page for tourists to buy the swiss travel pass? The page that they mention does not accept my credit card and I have already seen several comments where they indicate that they do not receive the payment. I appreciate if you can provide me with any information since I will be traveling soon.

Hi guys. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THE GREAT INFO! You guys are lifesavers! I'm preparing for my trip to Switzerland in December and I did a mock ticket buying for 2 months in advance so I could see the fares from Nuremberg, Germany to Luzern. OK, I think I did something wrong cause the price the SBB site gave me for FIVE people on this trip was CHF 244. Also, next to BUY NOW link it says "Sparpreis Europa incl. City-Ticket ." I have no idea what this means either. OMG I feel so overwhelmed with this trip! I would really appreciate if you guys could tell me where can I use this Sparpreis included city ticket, like, what is it for? I don't wanna miss any discounts. AND CHF 244 ($266) for 5 people? That price doesn't make sense to me on a trip from Germany to Switzerland. Everywhere I look it's $600+. Thank you guys!

does the 1/2 fair card cover the glacier express.

do eithe of these cards cover a train ride from switzerland to Munich at the end of a Switzerland trip?

Thank you for making video which is really helping me for my trip. I am planning to stay 4 days in Interlaken and 2 days in Lucerne with my wife and daughter in first week of April. I am thinking to buy "Top of Europe winter pass" as it is available till 30th April for 3 days. After spending 4 days, we would like to move to Lucerne to explore Titlis mountain. Is there any such kind of pass available which will help me in Lucerne and Titlis like we have "Top of Europe winter pass" in Jungfrau region ? Please suggest.

Hi
I’m going to Switzerland for the 1st time this summer for just 2 days with my 14 and 16 Years old kids, since you have been to a lot places where would you advise to go, where is the must see places ?
Thanks

For a tourist each day's activities are weather dependent. So the Half Fare card with it's flexible days access is a great option.

How do I get the app?

Hi! We will be traveling from Milan on the last week of April. Planning on taking the train to Zermatt, Interlaken then Lurcerne spending two nights in each city. Is that too much? Or should we just stay in one city? Also, should we get the Swiss travel pass or the half fare card? Thank you for your help.

Thank you so much for the video! I am planning a trip there in September so I have been binging all your videos.

Question: Does each traveler need their own half-fair card? Are you allowed to share one with another person? Thanks!

For the swiss travel pass, does it have to be CONSECUTIVE days?

If im coming from geneva then to interlaken for 5 days then back to gemeva..so whats the train ticket u will advise?

Hi Alexis and Louis. This was such a great help in choosing! Thank you for taking the time to post all the information. I have a question tho that I cant find an answer to (in english!) If I buy my half price card now for travel in May and want to purchase train tickets and Jungfraujoch tickets with it NOW before they sell out, will the half fare card work? Or does it only work when purchasing the tickets during the dates of the pass? I'd like to take advantage of the discounts but seats are selling fast!

Will be in Lauterbrunnen for 1 day and planning to just do the Grindelwald first walk and then back down to Lauterbrunnen so which pass would be best and cheapest?
We will have a car so not planning to take any public transport except the train/gondola to Grindelwald.

Do we need to book in advance or can we purchase when we get there?

hi Guys, im heading to Geneva for the first time for 4 days, what train you can recommend from Geneva to Milan?

I went to Switzerland in April 2019 for 11 days and went ahead and purchased the 15-day pass to have my entire trip covered.

I flew into Zürich, and went to Luzern, Interlaken, Lauterbrunnen, Bern, and Fiesch, and back to Zürich. I also used it for two museums and, back then, a gondola trip to the Schilthorn was included in the pass. With all that, I came out slightly ahead on the economics of buying the pass.

One thing you didn't discuss was the SBB app for your phone. I found it to be extraordinarily useful and easy to use. The QR code for my Swiss Travel Pass was easy to pull up and show to the conductor checking fares.

This is really helpful. Thank you!

very informative video, thank you

I find the supersaver rates not so good for those not having the 50% discount.

Thank you ..supersaver day pass is very useful for planning ahead and purchasing it before entering the country ..peace of mind

Hi A&L, may I know if the Half Fare Card covers a 50% discount for the “Top of Europe” ? Thanks

Excellent video! I thought I had things planned out by buying a Swiss Travel Pass but now will think again after watching your video. You guys are great!

Hi Alexis and Louis, I booked a trip to visit Switzerland and Germany for this summer and our plans are to fly into Zurich then travel to Interlaken for 2 days. From there spend 3 days in Grindelwald, then head to Fussen Germany for a couple of days and finally head to Munich to end our trip. We are not renting a car, so all train travel. After watching your videos, it sounds like a good option would be to get Eurail passes and Top of Europe passes and that should cover most of the travels between locations. Please let me know if you think another option would be better. Thank You !

Thanks!

Hi Alexis and Louis! Is the Swiss travel pass the same as the Jungfrau travel pass?

Hello, Top of Europe It's include or 50%? Thx
