Our trip | Rosemary o. | 2016/12/02
"We found the trains very clean and convenient and the timetable had sufficient trains to meet our needs with regard to connections. The Swiss Travel Pass is rather expensive though, but it does cover a lot of inclusions. We enjoyed travelling with the pass. "

Do You Have A Swiaa Pass..? | Timothy b. | 2016/09/27
"Definitely a cheaper form of travel in Switzerland and gets you heaps of discounts in other places - just be wary that the discount/travel (cable cars etc) doesn't count towards one of your days if you've selected a flexi date pass. Also, don't reserve a ticket - regardless of class. An abundance of seats available on all trains "

Milan - Switzerland - Bavaria | Stephen b. | 2016/09/09
"Flew into Milan. Regional train to Tirano, Italy. Then a series of inter Swiss town and Alpine train trips over two weeks, ending in Zurick. Then to Fussen and Munich in Bavaria, Germany by German rail services. Switzerland is very expensive but well worth the cost. Swiss Alpine trains are excellent with dramatic alpine views. Used the Swiss Travel Pass which made the many trips easy, and cost effective due to many trips on public and private services, inluding city buses. Had to purchase the Swiss Travel Pass before leaving Australia. Only issue was we missed a message about a cancelled train as we did not speak German. Otherwise brilliant "

"So impressed with the Swiss rail system . Trains were clean ,punctual and clearly announced . It took a couple of minutes at Zurich station to find the office to get our tickets validated , but the lady was helpful and assured us that the train was on time etc. It departed on the dot and arrived in Interlaken at exactly the right time too . Amazing ! "

Train tour in Switzerland | Eleanor Jill t. | 2015/12/21
"We booked seats the Glacier Express to Chur, the Bernina express to Lugano, The William Tell Express to Lucerne, and the Golden Pass Route to Montreux. Some of that was difficult to book online and I had to resort to the phone. It would have been reassuring then to have an itinerary issued to join up the tour clearly and fill in the gaps where necessary. However we mapped it out ourselves and it all worked well with typical Swiss efficiency. "

FAQ

Common Questions, Simple Answers

Q. Can I use my rail pass on any train within its area of coverage?

A. In general, yes, but there are some exceptions and a few rules to keep in mind.

First, be mindful that some trains (such as high speed, scenic, and night trains) require rail pass holders to purchase reservations at an additional cost.

For international train journeys, be sure that your rail pass covers the country of departure, country of arrival, and any countries through which your train will travel.

Lastly, some private rail lines in certain countries don’t offer reservations for rail pass holders and don’t accept rail passes. In these cases, you can purchase a train ticket locally for the desired journey.
Q. Can I print my rail pass at the station?

A. At this time, most rail passes are printed as a paper document and must be shipped to you prior to your departure to Europe. If a rail pass is offered as an e-pass this option will be offered at the time of booking. For rail passes offered as e-passes, you will need to print it out on paper prior to arriving at the train station..
Q. How do I contact you while I’m in Europe?

A. If you need to contact us while you’re in Europe, you can send us a message by visiting our Contact Us Page.
Q. What do I do if my train goes through a country not listed on my rail pass?

A. If your train travels through a country not listed on your rail pass, even though the country of origin and country of arrival are covered by your rail pass, you need to purchase a ticket for the uncovered portion of the journey. We suggest doing this at a ticket counter in advance. You don’t need to buy a ticket for the entire journey, just the section not covered by the purchased rail pass.
Q. Will the conductor take my passport?

A. Conductors will not take your passport during day trips. If your passport does need to be checked, the local border control staff will simply walk through each train car checking each passengers travel documents and hand them back to you.

With overnight trips you’ll generally provide the train attendant with your reservation voucher, rail pass or train ticket, and passport as you board. That way, they can take care of everything with conductors and customs officials so you can sleep uninterrupted through the night.
Q. I have a question about my promo code. Who should I contact?

A. Please contact us via our Contact Us page with any questions about promo codes.
Q. Are there discounts available for rail passes?

A. Yes, many rail passes offer discounted options. The most common discounts are:
Child discount: Children between 4 -11 years of age usually travel for half the price of the regular adult rate. Most Eurail passes offer free travel for up to two children per adult pass holder.
Youth Discount: If you or anyone in your party is a traveller aged 12 to under 28 years of age on the first date of travel, discounted rates are available for certain rail passes.
Senior Discount: Seniors over the age of 60 are eligible for a discounted rate on certain rail passes.
Saver Discount: Small groups of 2 to 5 people traveling together are eligible for savings of about 15% on certain rail passes.
Group Discount: If you travel in a party of 10 or more, see our special group offers for a more customized travel solution.
Q. How do I create a Rail Europe account?

A. You can simply click the ’Login’ button found on the top right-hand side of our homepage and select ’create an account’ to register on our site. If you are booking with us, you will also be presented with the option to register during checkout.
Q. If there’s been a strike, how do I request reimbursement through the Rail Protection Plan™?

A. Only some train tickets are eligible for reimbursement due to strikes. Please send your tickets back to our Rail Europe office at the address included in the Rail Protection Plan™ documentation that accompanied your train tickets or rail pass, and include the traveller’s Request Form.

A European railway official at the station must have stamped the train ticket indicating it was not used due to a rail strike.

If the e-ticket has not been printed, requests for reimbursement can be e-mailed to customerrelations@raileurope.com, prior to the train departure date.
