Very useful especially for first timers and newbie travelers. Thanks.

[@allgoodluck168]

Thanks so much Olivia for all your super helpful videos! I just reached Switzerland and can confirm your tips are 🔥🔥🔥. Particularly, pressing the green button on train/tram doors to open, and getting the switzerland specific travel adapter! The recess inlet definitely won't fit the universal adapter - thank goodness i watched your video!

[@Olliechinny]

You're so welcome!

[@jeonghansyndrome]

Good luck for your trip!

[@alexkeitho]

Thanks for the useful tips! Quick check, I’m traveling to Swiss next month with Swiss Travel Pass (STP).It is a printed version bought from Klook. Some questions as below if you can help : 1. With STP , I can just go in and out of the train? 2. Do I still need to scan at the orange ticket booth at the train station/scanner in the bus? 3.Since there is no reservation, I assume you can sit any seats Thanks 🙏

[@mikatu]

1. Yes 2. No, only needs to be activated in the first day 3. Yes

[@risitech]

I have worked and stayed quite sometime in Zurich in the late 80's.. Travelled by trains and drive cars. I'm now 75. I want to bring my wife see the sites in Switzerland, Germany and Italy. Are the train systems still same?

[@joshb8947]

Do you have any videos on the Zurich Card? Or do you think that getting a daily pass in Zurich is better?

[@FarooqF-g2x]

This is somewhat technical though, some one floated the idea of day saver pass. Does the pass starting time starts from the time of the connection where you purchased or it starts at a specific time every day? They say it ends on 5 next morning but when does it start the preceding day? For example, if we are offered a day pass along the Glacier Express route, is it possible to do a part of it from Chur to Zermat? From Chur the GE leaves at 11. Assuming that day pass can be used early morning, is its possible to reach Chur from around St. Gallen by that time? If to make full use of the day pass, I assume regional trains run back from Zermat to to Zurich to St.gallen, the route of course is different and many connections involved.

[@Eva_Lee728]

Thank you for the information❤🙏

[@deasychristin209]

How about using the trams? Do we have to buy ticket as well or just tap in tap out with contactless card? We only have 1 day in Zurich so we don’t plan to buy swiss travel pass

Any idea why half fare is not applied when buying from SBB App and passenger has the 'Swiss Half Fare' selected? this is for major route for example from 'Basel SBB Station' to Interlaken. thanks @Olliechinny #Olliechinny

[@vonnydjayasaputra4352]

Hi Olivia, you post a very informative and usefull for us. I’m planning to go Murren and explore Lauterbrunnen, schilthorn, manlichen, gruschalp.. should i get a bernes oberland pass or just get a half fare card? Thank you..

[@Olliechinny]

You should get BOTH. Because the half fare card will entitle u to a 50% off on your purchase of the Bernese Oberland pass. You use the BO pass during ur time in the region, and for your remaining days in other places etc Zurich Lucerne Geneva etc u use the half fare card to pay for your transport. Do consider purchasing the half-fare card through my link to support: m.kkday.com/en/product/128031-swiss-half-fare-card-e-ticket?cid=13776 Thank you and have a safe trip!

[@Himawari-p4j]

Hi Ollie, may I know 1) can I buy the Swiss half fare card via the SBB app before arriving in Switzerland? 2) If yes how many days max in advance? I have 8 days in Switzerland, planning to buy the oberland pass n Swiss half fare card。 Thank you in advance 😊

[@shamajacob1785]

V informative video..one doubt if I buy the Swiss travel pass and if the signs on SBB app is high occupancy for a route I choose can I board the train ?

[@eiseli99]

3:30 It is not exactly correct that if you have a physical ticket, you must validate it with the orange machine. It only applies to physical tickets with no date on it, like multiple-journey tickets. If you buy a simple ticket at the machine, it will already have a date printed on it, typically today's date and the ticket will be valid until 5 AM the next day.

I most likely will be going to Mt Pilatus, Jungfrau, probably 1 or 2 lake ride and 1 or 2 museums. On 5 Nov, I am going to travel from Interlaken to Italy, Milan.

Hi Olivia, your videos and write-ups on Switzerland are life-savers! Thank you! I'll be travelling from Zurich airport to Koniz, Bern (my base, 8 days) then I intend to relax around the Bernese-Oberland region. Is it cost effective to: 1. Buy a saver day pass for the ride from Zurich to Koniz in advance? 2. Buy the Bernese Oberland regional pass for 4 or 6 days (my intend is to hike around that area)? 3. Venture a day trip to Lausanne using the saver day pass option (also buy in advance)? Thank you in advance for your advice. Stay Joyful and Safe!

Thank you very much for these useful informations. I understand that the Saver Day pass can be used around CH within 24 hrs? am coming just for 3 days in CH and will have a city pass from my hotel.

I do not intend to go on Top of Europe.Should i buy my Gondola tickets earlier ou on the spot? Thanks a lot!

[@Olliechinny]

Your city pass is only valid for within Geneva. To go to Bern, either get a point to point ticket or the saver day pass. And yes You can use the saver day pass for your train and buses to Grindelwald, Interlaken and Zermatt but NOT for the special cable cars eg to First or Gornergrat. You can buy them on the spot after checking the weather.

There is no need to enter the family card inside the app for ur child. U don’t have to buy his/her ticket. If the conductor comes just show ur own half fare card.

Hi Olivia! 
Thanks very much for your vids and blog articles re Switzerland especially getting around, cultural norms - they’re really informative and insightful! My wife and I will be in Switzerland from 31 May for 2 weeks - she’s got work meetings for a week in the middle, leaving us 3 days at the start and end of the 2 weeks. (We only have a very sketchy itinerary so no long train rides planned as yet). From your YT vid and the related blog I’m guessing the Half Fare Card may be a better choice? (let me know if you think otherwise).

 I do have some questions regarding the SBB app, 3rd-party travel pass resellers, connecting multi-currency debit cards to the SBB app vs regular credit cards, travel passes to Germany and hope you can advice.

 Here goes:
 1. What differences (if any) for buying the travel pass from SBB vs 3rd-party resellers (e.g., Klook, KKday, etc)
. 2. Where on the SBB app would your travel pass be found? (e.g., main page)
Would a ticket for a specific trip appear on the same page as the base/main pass? (e.g., Half Fare Card and a ticket for Geneva to Lausanne) - so it’s quick to locate if a ticket inspector wants to check
. 3. Are there any discounted entries (e.g., to museums, parks, etc) with the Half Fare Card?
 4. Can a multi-currency debit card like Revolut, YouTrip, Wise be linked to the SBB app for payment of tickets?
 5. Do you have recommendations for train travel from either Lucerne or Zurich to Munich (either direct or 1 stop)?


 Many thanks! Vincent

I don’t exactlyyy understand the first part of your question. If you have a half fare card, you can get a point to point ticket (choose ur start location and end destination) or the saver day pass option which allows u to take unlimited public transport for the full day (except special mountain cable cars,gondola) For kids between 6-16 years old u can buy the junior pass for 30 CHF and it’s free for unlimited transport (including cable cars and gondolas eg Gornergrat).

Hello! I'll be visiting Switzerland late June with my partner & had a couple questions. We'll be coming from Paris & was wondering if the Swiss Travel Pass would be worth it. We'll be staying 3 days & going to Interlaken & Grindelwald as of now. I'm thinking of taking train from Paris to Basel & utilizing the Swiss Travel Pass to get free transportation to Interlaken & Grindelwald & their excursions there. What is your perspective on this idea? Thank you!

[@Olliechinny]

You can get the STP but please note that for the special excursions; they are not covered fully. The discount u get is the same as the half fare card ie 50%. I think the latter is better than the STP considering it is just a short 3 days.

Hi Ollie a follow up question with this . We also be in jungfrau/interlaken area for 2 days but would like to go to jungfraujoch .. what ticket can u suggest to get, coming from surich airport.

[@georginafinalen9176]

hi Olivia, first of all I have to say how incredible is your channel , It is helping me a lot to understand how transportation works in Switzerland. I will be in Zurich and I will go to Montreux so I could understand with your videos that I can buy supersaver instead point-to point to save money but I can't make a mistake ... I have to get the right train and there are just few minutes between connexions. What is your recommendation to localize where to get my train in the station please? Also how do I know where to stop in Montreux or there is just one place to stop? ) I will be going to the Christmas market in Montreux) thank u in advance!

[@Olliechinny]

The train platform number, the time of departure and arrival are all clearly indicated when you make the ticket purchase on SBB app. that should give you sufficient information to make your transfer. There is also only just one stop "Montreux", you wont go wrong.

@@Olliechinny I really appreciate your answer! thank you!

Hi Olivia, if I buy a train ticket on SSB app, usually it will show different times options. If I choose specific one, do I have to take the exact same time train even the ticket price is the same as the other times? Thank you 😊

[@Olliechinny]

If it is a regular point to point ticket (not a super saver) even you miss the train u can take the next one. It does not need to be the exact train as long as the destination remains the same.

[@Sharingisfun24]

Thank you! I also saw some discount tickets with a sign (%) next to it when they show all the available trains. Tickets for that I have to take the exact same time train right?

Hi, Olivia. Thank you for this. It was very helpful! Can the Swiss Travel Pass be used in Liechtenstein? If not, could one purchase a ticket at Zurich HB that includes a bus ticket from Sargans to Vaduz?

[@Olliechinny]

Yes you can, it’s under the area if validity for Swiss travel pass and u do not need a separate ticket. By the way, u might want to check out my travel guide to Lichtenstein! olliechinny.com/winter-holiday-in-liechtenstein/

[@Olliechinny]

[@diyadhyan7787]

Which pass is recommended if we are traveling with two kids below 15 yrs for 4 days? Pls help

[@Olliechinny]

Half fare card is your best choice since u are here for such a short time. The swiss travel pass will not be worth it.
