Excellent job! Thank you so much for explaining and showing where you can go in Swiss Pass. Very thorough.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment ☺️
Thanks for the detailed information 😊
You’re very welcome! ☺️
This is really useful. Thanks for the detailed information.
Hello, you’re very welcome! ☺️
Very well described of Swiss travel pass ..
Thank you ☺️
Thank you really helpful
You’re very welcome ☺️
Hi! Great info and fantastic views? Which part of Grindelwald were you able to fly your drone? planning to go there last week of April.
Hello, so happy you liked our video. We flew our drone next to the cliff walk, there is a hill next to the wall which is usually empty just each our for paragliders. ☺️ Enjoy your trip and do look at our other videos, hope it helps!
Thanks for the video. I would like to check if we can use swiss travel pass to travel to region such as Grindelwald(Not mountains such as first etc - just train and buses), lauterbrunnen, Iselwald, Interlaken with local trains and buses?
Hello, Yes you absolutely can use your Swiss travel pass in all regions in Switzerland for trains, buses and trams. The only places you won’t get for free are mountains like first but you get discounts. ☺️
@@TandAJAdventuresthank you
You’re very welcome ☺️
Hello, what is the train ride you mentioned at 4'31" please? I didnt quite get it. Thanks. 😊
Hello, That is the Belle Epoque Train from Montreux to Interlaken ☺️
Hi the hike you mentioned towards the end was it the stoos ridge hike? If yes is there another funicular to take for the hike (as the steepest one you said was free)
Hello, Yes I think it’s the Stoos ridge bike you are talking about as that’s the only one we did. So I actually don’t know if there is another funiclar, I don’t think there is as everyone got at the same time
When I went to Switzerland that was in 2016, hotels thus give free transport pass within the city. Do I need a Swiss travel pass or do I buy a Swiss half fare card. From Zurich to Interlaken for instance.
Hello, you are absolutely right! Some locations or cities do offer regional cards like Interlaken gives free bus passes to get around. If you are thinking of staying in one location or a few then investing in a half fare card might work better ☺️
Well done
Hope you liked the video!
Hi I bought the Swiss Travel Pass already, I know i cannot reserve a seat on the phone or website unless it is for like golden train...gotthard...., for another normal local train, should i just get in the train and seat anywhere without ppl? or i need to reserve a seat on the service counter at the train station before on boarding? is there a gate to scan the STP before on boarding? I really want to know the process and I have concerns if no seat reservation, my family have to stand on the train for 1 -2 hours.....
Hello,
Did you buy the Swiss travel pass using the link we provided? If so you don’t have to worry, it should be all fine as we have had a couple of people buying using our link and it’s been fine for them.
Regarding seat reservations, we have never reserved any seat apart from the Belle Epoque and Golden pass train. You should be fine. The only train we were unable to sit despite having a first class train pass was the Grindelwald one because it’s the most busiest trains journey. There were many like us in the same position. If you want to be extra sure then yes you could reserve seats by going to an office but speaking from experience we have never done it and been fine. Enjoy your trip 🥰
Hi what was that green colour circular shape train?
Hello, at which minute in the video please?
Hello, I am also planning to go to Switzerland. So my question is how big must be the itinerary so that we can utilize the travel pass at its full and, if possible, can you share your itinerary. Which was shown in this particular video. As I loved the way you described the places and the videography was amazing.
Please look forward to this message and clear some of my doubts.
Thank You ❤
Hello,
Thank you for your lovely comments! So this is a hard question because it really depends on your budget. The one thing I would advice is to make the full use of your pass if you are going to purchase it. That means early waking up most days, catching trains and sometimes even visiting more than one city in a day if you are going for 7 days. If you purchase the 14 days pass and have days on your hand then you can take it a bit slow.
I am currently in the process of uploading a full 7 and 14 day Switzerland itinerary so keep an eye out on my channel and hopefully that should give you some idea as well. ☺️
Here you go :)

Do you know how to upgrade to 1st class if you have Swiss travel pass 2nd class ?
Hello, I don’t believe you can upgrade the pass itself. You can just buy a first class pass from many Swiss travel pass counters at train stations or from the Swiss travel systems website. For trains like Belle Epoque, you have to go to the train station in Montreux and they have a specific counter for this train journey that is where you can upgrade. ☺️
@@TandAJAdventures in SBB app you can buy point to point class upgrade if you have 2nd class ticket . The problem is there are no option for STP . Only for half fare card , i guess we didn't need to buy a ticket if we have Swiss travel pass?
@@zamielreza2090Hello, Apologies I missed your comment. I am a little confused so correct me if I am wrong.
I believe you might have purchased tickets despite having the Swiss travel pass?
You are absolutely right, you can upgrade with a Swiss travel pass for specific trains like the Golden Pass express and Belle Epoque. You have to pay extra for first class carriages or prestige class for Golden Pass Express. I am not sure if this can be done online, I know it can be done in their office at Montreux Train station! ☺️
If we go to the tour from lucern to.mount titlis can i use the pass and hiw much 50 percent off ?thank you for the informative video
Yes, you can use the pass on transportation but to go up title’s you will only get 50% off ☺️
Oh okey.. thank you very much for the answer
You’re very welcome ☺️
Im a bit confused, there is a fee for the mountains even if u have the swiss travel pass? (9:35 min mark)
There are 3 mountains you can visit for free with a Swiss travel pass and the rest you get 50% off
Un ar "Swiss travel card" 50% = 39,-CHF lielākajai daļai augstkalnu funikulieru vai cogwell dzelzceļu.
Izņemot ekskursiju uz Jungfraujoch, Zermatt, kur tas maksās vēl dārgāk (120,-CHF ar 50%atlaidi) vai 240,- CHF bez jebkādas caurlaides kartes.
Ja iebraucat uz 1 vai 2 dienām, visizdevīgāk ir vismaz 2 nedēļas iepriekš nopirkt sev "Spar tageskarte", kas der visiem transporta veidiem, visā Šveices teritorijā, 29 stundu ilgumā, ieskaiotot nakts vilcienus līdz nākamās dienas pulksten 5:00 no rīta.
Vietu vilcienā var rezervēt vēlāk par 5,- CHF. Parasti 70% to nedara. Bet ja , kāds cits ir rezervējis vietu kurā jūs apsēžaties, tad jums jāatbrīvo šī vieta. Tālsatiksmes vilcienos blakus vietas Nr. ieslēdzas uzraksts, ar intervāla staciju nosaukumiem, starp kuriem vieta ir kādam rezervēta.
We are renting a car. Do you have a recommendation for a travel pass for boats, gondolas, entry tickets, etc?
Hello, I would recommend the half fare card. Also, I am visiting Switzerland again this year and going to be trying out new cards and making videos to help others so keep an eye out on my channel for this ☺️
A lot of people would say 'do not rent a car' get a Swiss Travel Pass. Swiss public transport is the best in Europe, perhaps in the world. The thing which amazes visitors, even from Japan, is the Taktfahrplan. .Every line and route of significance has AT LEAST AN HOURLY SERVICE 365 DAYS A YEAR. All services (buses, trains and boats etc) are timed to interconnect. There are a significant number of villages you cannot drive to. Zermatt, Wengen and Murren are the best known examples,. And the person doing the driving must watch the road, not the scenery. And Swiss mountain roads do have lots of bends!
This is a beautiful written comment, thank you for taking your time for explaining why Swiss travel pass is better recommended and driving is not the only option for seeing this beautiful country
Which pass that had restroom all of them ?
Sorry I am a little confused, which ones are you looking for? ☺️
If we buy a pass all the train going to the mountain has a restroom since its a long drive ? My husband always has to go to the restroom
Hello, All the Swiss trains we travelled in had restrooms. ☺️
👍💯💕
❤️☺️
A tourist trap I recently experienced was about Swiss railway (SBB) who tend to indiscriminately fine passengers who activated the Swiss pass just a little bit late with excessive fine. I was handed a 158 CHF fine ticket by the ticket controller without even asking me any question (e.g. if it was my first time). According to SSB website such a high fine should be for repeated offenders. Later, I found out the abusive habit of SBB ticket controllers from many internet groups and decided to make an in-person trip to the SBB office to complain (as the SBB tel line is always engaged). The funny thing was the staff in SBB office after hearing my case immediately and apologetically reduced my fine to 30 CHF. Instead of having time to sight-seeing, I spend a lot of my time in Switzerland complaining to SBB. This not only wasted a lot of my time but leave a really bad taste in my mouth. So watch out for this abusive action from SBB. Take care.
I am very sorry to hear about your experience, it’s the first time I am personally hearing something like this. We have had a lot of people buy the Swiss Travel pass including us but haven’t faced this issue. I believe this has something to do with activating your Swiss travel pass, this does need to be activated before you use it e.g. on the day of travel before you board the train,bus,tram or funiclar. It should be mentioned on the terms and conditions. I know it can be easily overlooked though. Swiss are very strict with rules and so you can get fines if rules or terms aren’t followed. For example, we have seen sometimes passengers sit in first class when they have second class Swiss travel pass and they have been handed fines on the spot.
Once again, I am very sorry to hear about your experience. Switzerland is a beautiful country and it’s a shame you didn’t have time to see it due to the issues.
@@TandAJAdventures Thank you so much for taking your time to read my story and giving me advices. Switzerland indeed is a beautiful country and I would say most people I met were friendly. Since my experience with SBB was so bad that I made a complain via their official e-mail. To my utter surprise, they replied that since I already paid the fine, they consider my case closed and would not reply to any of my inquiry e.g. why excessive fine ticket was handed to me without even asking me any question. I do know many tourists who are not familiar with SBB system find it very annoying. Therefore, I would like to know if there is any department or politicians that I can contact to escalate my case. I am doing it for the sake of the transportation system of Switzerland and the tourists would be treated similarly to me, mainly for its improvement. For your further advise, please. Many thanks.
Thank you for your comment and once again, I am so sorry for your experience. Unfortunately, I am not too sure about taking this further.
I would imagine this might be a good question to ask SBB directly. It might be worth going back to the SBB railway office if you are still in Switzerland and writing and official letter to their complaints team if there is one. I am sorry, I wish I could help further but they might just refer back to their terms and conditions and refuse to take this further.
