Planning to travel Switzerland by train? In this video, I break down which Swiss travel pass is actually worth it and how you can save up to 300CHF! A

Honestly, Switzerland has one of the most incredible and efficient rail systems in the world but the passes can be confusing, and choosing the wrong one can literally cost you hundreds of francs. I also went down the same rabbit hole of spreadsheets, comparisons, and “WAIT… which one am I supposed to get?” before my own trip.

As a Singaporean living in Switzerland, I share practical tips to help you travel smarter and avoid overpaying. In the video, we’ll go through the Swiss Travel Pass, Swiss Half Fare Card, Saver Day Pass, and Eurail Pass, so you can figure out which one fits your itinerary and avoid spending way more than you need to on trains. I’ll walk you through how each pass works, the pros and cons, real travel examples, and the types of travelers each pass actually makes sense for!

Hi Ollie, many thanks for the breakdown & detailed explanation. Appreciate it. Anyway, do take note - Yesim will not work on some phones. So, u may want to highlight this in case someone bought it without checking the compatibility.

Swiss Half-Fare Card is excellent if you can plan to buy saver day pass in advance

@cwl2735 4 months ago

I save a lot of money using Swiss Half Fare Card, associated with Saver day passes (bought 60 days in advance) or point-to-point tickets, and mountain tickets

Hi Ollie, when can I book the seat reservation for the Glacier Express for 21st March 2027?? Thankyou

I really needed this.

I'll be travelling to Zurich from London next month for 4 days and want to see a few museums and attractions, take a train/day trip to Lauderbraunen and maybe go on a hike or two, as well as visiting the Lindt chocolate museum... do you know if the STP gives access to the chocolate factory or is there an extra fee?

I don't plan to do too much in the 4 days I'm there solo travelling, but I most Certainly Need to see Lauderbraunen and/or Interlaken.. Just as long as it doesn't cost me my dignity 😅

Swiss Travel Pass Costs like almost a Half of my German Salary which only Valid for 6 Day's 😵‍💫 . Unfortunately i couldn"t use it Travelling to Mountain likw you said the Weather is very Unpredectable.. Ans also you cant realy travel with swizz travel Pass for free anywhere. I travelled in a Mountain where they said the Swizz travel Pass was not Acceptable because on that Part of Mountain no Swizz People living🤷‍♀️ they Charged me 20frank for 2 Station going back down to the Bus Stations. I rwaly didn't get it because no one told me that whwn i bought the Ticket i was being told i can travel with all train all over Interlaken.

Very informative, thanks. What pass should I get for the Bernini Express from Milan to Zurich coming from the UK?

@VidrankPro 7 months ago

Really good video, the topic was explained very clearly.

One thing I noticed is the title could potentially attract more clicks with a small tweak.

A quick trick is combining the main keyword with a curiosity phrase.

If you'd like, I’d be happy to share a few ideas.

Hola , yo tengo una consulta el saver day pass también incluye el tren regional rojo ?
Hay que hacer algún tipo de reserva o en el momento se muestra el pase

@BenderFondue 7 months ago (edited)

Imagine taking trains outside of Switzerland, hope you have lots of patience, because they will for sure be delayed or not come at all.

@ranferi. 6 months ago

I'm quite surprised you did not talk about GA-Travelcard/General Abo/Generalabonnement. Which is a somewhat good deal if you really really travel a lot. You can break even in two-three long distance round trips.

Hello! We (5 adults) plan to spend 3 days in interlaken area (probably taking public transport to Isewalt, Grindelwald, Lauterbrunen). Then take the train from Interlaken to Lucerne. Then just fly back from Zurich.

What pass do you think we should get? We prioritize low-stress travel so your description of the Swiss travel pass sounds really good, though I think our trips are rather short.
