We get asked this all the time by families planning a Switzerland trip from Singapore. Should you buy the Swiss Travel Pass or just get tickets as you go? Swiss Pass sounds like the dream. Unlimited trains, lake cruises, buses and museum entries. 

But if you’re trying to figure out if it’s actually worth it, the real answer is this… it depends on how you travel. If you’re moving across multiple cities, using scenic routes like Glacier Express or Bernina. Express, and travelling over 6 to 11 days, the Swiss Travel Pass often pays off. Especially for families who want fewer logistics and more ease. But if you’re staying in just one or two places and not using much transport, we’ll be honest with you. It might not be the best fit. We break this down with every itinerary we build. Because we believe it’s not about spending.

less or more. It’s about spending smart. 

What does the Swiss Travel Pass include for tourists?

The Swiss Travel Pass gives you access to public transport across the country. That means trains between cities, boats on lakes, buses and trams in major towns. You also get free or discounted entry to over 500 museums and several mountain rides. For families, it takes away the stress of buying point to point tickets every time. It also gives you the flexibility to change plans on the go. If your family wants to hop on a boat in Lucerne or take a tram in Zurich, you just show the pass. No extra cost. 

Best Swiss Travel Pass benefits for families travelling to Switzerland:

We usually see the best value when families are travelling for a week or more, across different towns. If you’re doing Lucerne to Interlaken to Zermatt or combining scenic trains with lakeside towns, this pass can be a game changer. 

It’s also great for family groups with different needs. Grandparents don’t have to walk long distances to ticket counters. Though a quick note… Switzerland is built around walking. Even the most well-connected towns have gentle slopes, cobbled paths and scenic detours. So, a good pair of walking shoes and breaks in between go a long way. Parents get to relax because most things are prepaid and seamless. Kids stay entertained thanks to the variety of transport options and smooth travel transitions. 

When not to buy the Swiss Travel Pass and what to consider instead?

If you’re only visiting one or two locations and not using public transport much, the cost of the pass might outweigh the benefit. Same if your plans are very fixed and you know exactly when and where you’ll travel. In these cases, we usually recommend the Swiss Half Fare Card or individual tickets. 

That’s something we always check for you. Because when you book your Switzerland trip with Fayyaz Travels, we calculate the best option based on your route, travel days and preferences.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use the Swiss Travel Pass for scenic train rides?  

Yes. Routes like Glacier Express, Bernina Express and GoldenPass Line are included, but you’ll still need seat reservations. We help arrange these for our clients. 

Is the Swiss Travel Pass better than the Swiss Half Fare Card?

It depends on your itinerary. If you’re travelling often and across regions, the full pass might be better. If you’re staying local or only doing a few journeys, the Half Fare Card could save more.
