Pass
Swiss Travel Pass
A pass. You buy a number of travel days and then use participating services in Switzerland without buying a ticket for each journey.
The issuer's own terms
The detail below is quoted from the issuer's own page in the language they publish it in. We do not translate another company's conditions, because a translated condition is a condition we have changed.
- What it covers
- Unlimited travel on the Swiss public transport network, including SBB and most other Swiss railways, Postbus, lake boats, and local public transport in more than 90 Swiss towns and cities. Panorama trains are included but seat reservations and supplements on them are not. Some mountain railways (the page names Rigi, Stanserhorn and Stoos) are covered; other mountain excursions are only partially discounted, not free.
- Who can buy it
- Only sold to people whose permanent residence is outside Switzerland and Liechtenstein. Children under 6 travel free without a ticket; children 6 to 15 travel free with the accompanying free Swiss Family Card when a parent holds the pass; children under 16 travelling alone get 50 percent off; young people under 25 get 30 percent off (youth pass); adults 25 and over pay the standard price. Available in 1st or 2nd class.
- How long it lasts
- Swiss Travel Pass: 3, 4, 6, 8 or 15 consecutive days. Swiss Travel Pass Flex: the same day counts but freely selectable within one calendar month.
- What it costs
- Price varies by duration, class and age band, and the official SBB page did not display a single stable base figure at time of checking. Not verified as a single number; travellers should check the current SBB page for the specific duration/class combination.
- Seat reservations
- Seat reservations and surcharges on scenic/panorama trains are not included and must be bought separately.
- What catches people out
- Only available to non-residents of Switzerland and Liechtenstein, and a passport or official ID must be shown alongside the pass. Some attractions and mountain excursions only give a partial discount rather than free travel. The Flex version requires activating each travel day, and its mobile app support was noted as more limited than the consecutive-day version at time of checking.

What this does to an Orlero price
Nothing, yet. Our fares are point to point and are not adjusted for a pass or a card you hold. Use this page to work out whether the scheme is worth buying, and use search to find out what the same journeys cost without it.

Half Fare Travelcard
Issued by SBB
A discount card. You buy it once from SBB, then it takes a set percentage off ordinary fares in Switzerland.
Plan a trip from here
A pass only pays for itself against the journeys you actually make. Ask Ori for the trip and it will price the point to point fares our network holds, which is the number a pass has to beat.
