Do I need to print my ticket?

No. The Swiss Travel Pass is a mobile e-ticket. Simply show it on your phone alongside your passport when asked by a conductor or inspector.

When does my pass start — can I choose the date?

Yes. The pass is pre-validated at purchase but you select your travel start date. It then runs for the consecutive number of days you have chosen, expiring at 05:00 on the morning after the last valid day.

I live in Switzerland — can I still buy this pass?

No. The Swiss Travel Pass is exclusively available to non-residents of Switzerland and the Principality of Liechtenstein.

Do I need to reserve seats on the scenic trains?

The pass covers travel on all listed scenic routes, but seat reservations may be required separately on trains such as the Glacier Express or Bernina Express, particularly during peak season. Check the official Swiss Travel System website for current reservation requirements.

What is the difference between First and Second Class?

Both classes travel the same routes and are covered by the pass. First Class offers wider seats, quieter carriages, and more space — particularly useful on longer scenic journeys. Second Class is perfectly comfortable and the more popular choice for most travellers.

Can I cancel or change my pass after purchase?

Please check the cancellation policy shown on the booking page before completing your purchase, as terms depend on the ticket option selected.
