Considering train travel is not common for us in the US, everything was well marked, and the ability to flash our QR code was VERY convenient!Not sure if we will travel enough throughout Switzerland to have the math work, but the conscience is overwhelming! Eager to hit some museums on the pass as well.

This pass was such a great way to explore Switzerland. I used it to visit the Alps, Zurich, Interlaken and Geneva over six days. Sometimes the app was a bit confusing, but the unlimited travel time and money saved more than made up for it.

Magnificent view of the glacier, and don't hesitate to go as far as the highest restaurant (alpinist hut, 40-minute walk). There are no more Asian tourists, who are simply unbearable (they think they're alone in the world and take a photo every second, so everyone has their own way of visiting).

Loved loved looooovvveeeeed everything about this experience! Getting a ticket was eazy. Keep in mind it takes a lot of time to travel in switserland. I had a hotel on Chur and it took me more than two hours of driving with my car to get to grindelwald. Just a little advice for somebody who makes a reservation at the very last moment ;) you also get a lot of information so it's best to use the app and take some screenshots. Yes it is pricey but the view from "on top of europe" was priceless. (Haha ;)) to be honest I think I could enjoy this experience a bit more if it wasn't so much crowded. Some people call it a tourist trap... I'd rather call it a lazy way to get on top ;) the views were spectacular and surely worth my money

It would have been great. If you had known that there was no time commitment. The information was completely missing. The Eigerbahn and Jungfrauenjochbahn ran every half hour so you didn't have to be there on time at 12:45. That makes a big difference if you have a journey of almost 3 hours.

Our visit to Jungfraujoch was absolutely unforgettable! From the breathtaking train journey through the stunning Swiss Alps to the incredible views at the "Top of Europe," every moment felt magical. The snow-covered peaks, the Ice Palace, and the panoramic vistas from the Sphinx Observatory were simply awe-inspiring. Everything was very well organized, and the facilities were excellent despite the altitude. The staff was friendly and helpful, making the experience smooth and enjoyable. Jungfraujoch truly exceeded our expectations — a once-in-a-lifetime experience that we would highly recommend to anyone visiting Switzerland!

Take a look at this table to understand the different benefits of the Swiss Travel Pass, the Swiss Half-Fare Card, and the Interrail Switzerland Pass.

Is the Swiss Travel Pass worth the investment?

  • If you’re aiming to ride the iconic Glacier Express and other scenic trains like the Bernina or Gotthard Express, the pass offers great value. Individual tickets to these panoramic routes can be quite expensive, and this pass offers huge savings plus stunning views!
  • If you’re planning to move between cities every few days using the public transport system, then the pass can save you a lot. With this, you can hop on trains across the country without being tied to rigid schedules.
  • If you tend to plan trips at the last minute, the pass is a great fit. It lets you book travel just a few days in advance, giving you maximum flexibility.
  • If you dislike sticking to a set plan and want the flexibility to travel on a whim, then the pass suits you perfectly. 
  • If you’re keeping your mountain excursions to Rigi and Stanserhorn (both free with the pass), then you’ll appreciate the savings. These iconic mountains are easily accessible and offer sweeping views, so you won’t need additional passes for scenic peaks.
  • If your main focus is exploring the cities but not necessarily the mountain railways, you’ll still find the pass useful. The pass offers unlimited travel on trains, buses, and boats across Switzerland, making it easy to hop between cities like Zurich, Lucerne, Geneva, and Bern.
  • If you’re set on completing all five panoramic routes of Switzerland, then the pass will make your journey more affordable and straightforward. Instead of buying separate tickets for each leg, you only need to book seat reservations.

  • Luggage storage made easy
    If you don’t want to lug around your bags, most SBB train stations offer locker services or storage centers. You can drop off your items and move around freely. Prices vary, with charges up to CHF 12 based on size and duration.
  • Power up your devices
    Most SBB trains have power outlets, but you’ll need to bring your own adaptor—USB and type-C charging aren’t supported.
  • Bringing your bike?
    At Zurich Airport, lockers are available near the SBB train station exit for storing your bike. If you don’t fold your bike into a transport case, you’ll need to purchase a CHF 14 bike pass from the SBB website or app.
