We found it very good, easy to use and in seconds you have all the possible combinations with the schedules. I took it for 10 days and had no problems with schedules and train combinations. I traveled through 3 countries without any inconvenience. Although on the high speed trains you have to pay for the seats, you still have to live with the costs. Believe me you save a lot of money.

This is the second time this has been sent to me - and I answered both times. Ths is about pauing for a 1st class Eurail pass that was not recognized by Hungarian rail. There was no food car, and there were no 1st class cars in the overnight train. Plus I was charged an extra $300US for a single overnight car - and the conductor added 2 of his routine customers. I WANT MY MONEY BACK!

Our ticketing experience with Headout ended up being extrememly easy to use and very helpful for all the places we wanted to go. We were able to take the train from Zurich to Laussane, take the local transportation (bus/train/boat) all with one pass. It was pricier than we were hoping to spend but made up for it in convenience.

This is ridiculous! I bought a rail ticket which I will use next year. I made a stupid mistake and bought it from Headout. It cost me more and now I am being asked stupid questions.

This pass was such a great investment! I would recommend it to anyone who likes to make spontaneous plans. It is a little pricier than the continuous pass, but it is worth the money. The only thing you should remember is that seat reservations for panoramic trains cost extra.

I was nervous before purchasing it, but it is totally worth the buy. It was a relief to not plan everything about my trip in advance. And it worked out very well for me because I wanted to spend some extra time in Interlaken. The flexibility was perfect for my sometimes spontaneous style.

The freedom to choose paths and times. Kleine Scheidegg very beautiful. The Jungfraujoch, on the other hand, was a check-in facility, as we didn't actually want to buy watches, but wanted to learn something about the railroad and the area. Who made the statue of the railwayman there?

Well organized, but the guide was a bit over the top. Also, he should have waited for the group, especially in busy places. He was very good at keeping the group on schedule.

All was good but there were several things not excluded in the itinerary. If those things are not included then should not be mentioned in the booking details.

The itinerary initially said that it had the train included one way and we were very excited about the same. However, on the day, we were told that the train is not being used for 2-3 days. This was neither informed earlier nor were we refunded.

How to choose your train pass in Switzerland?

While selecting the ideal pass for your Swiss adventure, you need to consider your residency, travel itinerary, and preference. 

Step 1: Primary pass choice
Step 2: Choice based on itinerary
Step 3: Choice based on duration
Step 4: Choice based on comfort needs
Interrail/Eurail vs. Swiss Travel Passes

Your residency and the nature of connectivity will decide if you need a Eurail, Interrail, or Swiss Travel Pass.

Interrail Pass

  • Best suited for: European residents traveling via trains

Eurail Pass

  • Best suited for: Non-European residents commuting by train

Swiss Travel Pass

  • Best suited for: Non-residents of Switzerland & Liechtenstein who need access to the Swiss Travel System which includes trains, buses, boats, etc.
Global vs. One-Country Passes

If you have chosen Eurail or Interrail in Step 1, you will then decide if you need a Global or a One-Country Pass. 

Global Pass

  • Best suited for: Exploring Switzerland & other European destinations
  • Travel in trains across multiple European nations

One-Country Pass

  • Best suited for: Tourists exploring just Switzerland
  • Applicable in trains within a single European country like Switzerland

*Please note that Swiss Travel Passes are inherently one-country passes because they are mostly limited to Switzerland's public transportation system.

Flexi vs. Continuous Pass

You can decide between Flexi/Flexible Pass and Continuous Pass after estimating the actual number of days you will be traveling in trains. 

Flexi Pass

  • Best suited for: Passengers with plans for paced-out train rides
  • Active for a select number of random days within a timeframe

Continuous Pass

  • Best suited for: Passengers with plans for more frequent train connections without many breaks
  • Once activated, the pass remains valid continuously for the validity period

Your comfort needs should be considered when you decide to choose between 1st or 2nd class rail passes. 

First class 

  • Best suited for: Travelers who prefer a quieter journey with more comfort
  • Better amenities like spacious seats with wider legroom, larger work surfaces, better power supply, & sometimes at-seat catering

Second class

  • Best suited for: Travelers on a budget
  • Enjoy a communal & comfortable ride at affordable prices

The primary rail operator in Switzerland is the state-run Swiss Federal Railways (SBB). There are a lot of private railway companies as well, which make the travel system even more efficient, and passes sometimes cover these too.

Best time to visit Switzerland

The best time to visit Switzerland depends on the kind of holiday you are looking for. There are four distinct seasons in Switzerland.

  • Spring slowly brings a pop of color back to the meadows and valleys blossoming with wild alpine flowers. This season lasts from March to May and sees fewer tourists, meaning a quieter atmosphere. You can also expect some rain.
  • A verdant landscape carpeted with wildflowers awaits you in the summer months of June to August. The pleasant climate and longer daylight hours make this a peak tourist season ideal for outdoor activities.  
  • As the leaves fall ushering in the Autumn season from September to November, temperatures turn cooler and Switzerland turns picturesque with fall foliage. This time is still pleasant enough for outdoor activities but it is a slower tourist season.

The freedom to choose paths and times. Kleine Scheidegg very beautiful. The Jungfraujoch, on the other hand, was a check-in facility, as we didn't actually want to buy watches, but wanted to learn something about the railroad and the area. Who made the statue of the railwayman there?

We found it very good, easy to use and in seconds you have all the possible combinations with the schedules. I took it for 10 days and had no problems with schedules and train combinations. I traveled through 3 countries without any inconvenience. Although on the high speed trains you have to pay for the seats, you still have to live with the costs. Believe me you save a lot of money.
