When Does the Swiss Half Fare Card Make Sense?
The Swiss Half Fare Card is often the smart choice for visitors who want to keep their plans flexible, enjoy significant discounts and avoid paying for unlimited travel they may not use.
It doesn't take long for the card to start paying for itself. For example, a trip from Zurich to Interlaken combined with an excursion to Jungfraujoch can cost close to CHF 300 at full fare. With a Swiss Half Fare Card, you'll save 50% on that, effectively covering the cost of the card before the rest of your trip has even begun.
It's particularly suitable if you:
- Want discounts on mountain railways and excursions
- Prefer complete flexibility when planning your itinerary
- Plan to make only a handful of longer train journeys
- Are combining it with a Swiss Travel Pass Flex for maximum savings
If you're travelling extensively every day, a Swiss Travel Pass may offer better value. Alternatively, if you're focusing on a specific area of Switzerland, a regional pass could be a better fit. Compare the options here and find out which pass is right for you.
