About MySwissTravelPass.com
Who We Are, and How We Check What We Publish
What This Site Is For
Switzerland is one of the easiest countries in the world to travel by train. The information about it is one of the hardest to sort through.
Prices change every year. Some mountain railways are 50% off with a Swiss Travel Pass, a couple are completely free, and one of the most famous is barely discounted at all. Most guides copy each other, and the copy is usually a year out of date.
This site exists to fix that for one specific traveller: someone planning a first trip through Switzerland by rail who wants a straight answer.
What We Publish
Route guides, mountain excursions, lake cruises and day-by-day itineraries — 41 guides so far, each written from the operators’ own published information rather than from other travel blogs.
Every guide answers the same practical questions: how long the journey takes, what it costs, what the Swiss Travel Pass actually covers on that route, and the part most guides leave out.
How We Check Things
Timetables, prices and coverage come from primary sources — the railway operators, the Swiss Travel System, and the mountain railway companies themselves. Where a figure is a price, we say which year it applies to. Where a rule has an exception, we write the exception, because the exception is usually the thing that costs you money.
Every guide carries the date it was last updated. When 2027 prices are published, the pages quoting prices get rewritten rather than quietly left up.
Who Runs This Site
This site is run from Bangkok, working directly with Swiss travel partners. Not a Swiss company, and not pretending to be one — which turns out to matter, because a lot of what confuses first-time visitors is obvious to a local and invisible in a local guidebook.
We do not process bookings here. Passes and packages are sold through our booking company, an authorised seller of Swiss Travel System products, run by the same team as this site — and the booking links on this site go there.
That is worth saying plainly: we make money when you buy a pass. Which is exactly why these guides tell you when not to buy one. A short trip around a single region is often cheaper on a Half Fare Card, and we say so on the page where it matters.
