Swiss Travel Pass calculator [Free tool](https://www.mobeeinternational.com/tools) # Is the Swiss Travel Pass worth it? Calculator Pick your train legs and mountain excursions: see whether the Swiss Travel Pass, a Half Fare Card or single tickets costs less. How it works The **Swiss Travel Pass** covers almost every train, bus and boat in Switzerland, plus 500 museums, for 3 to 15 consecutive days. What it does not fully cover is the part most Americans travel for: the mountain railways. Jungfraujoch is 25 % off, Gornergrat and Pilatus 50 % off, Rigi is free. The Glacier Express is included but its seat reservation is not. Whether the pass pays off depends entirely on your route. Tick the legs below and the calculator does the arithmetic with published 2025 fares. *Outil interactif disponible sur la page : https://www.mobeeinternational.com/tools/swiss-travel-pass-calculator* Our designers’ advice Rule of thumb from our designers: with two or more long train days and at least one lake cruise, the pass wins. With a single base and one big excursion, a Half Fare Card is usually cheaper. Over 25 and staying 8 days or more, the 8-day pass is the sweet spot. Our [train itineraries](https://www.mobeeinternational.com/trips/train) include the right ticketing for the route, and the [Legendary Swiss Trains](https://www.mobeeinternational.com/packages/legendary-swiss-trains) trip is built around the Glacier Express and the Gornergrat. ## Read next [All articles](https://www.mobeeinternational.com/articles) ![Lugano, Legendary Swiss Trains: Glacier Express, Bernina & Gornergrat, 7 Days](/_astro/01M5J4124NK981S6X16R15MDYQ.Ctb1YMKW_Z17Lm0z.webp) ### [Glacier Express Guide: Route, Classes, Tickets and Tips](https://www.mobeeinternational.com/articles/glacier-express-guide) The Glacier Express from Zermatt to St. Moritz: route, eight-hour timing, Excellence Class, reservations, which direction to ride and whether it is worth it. ![7 days in Switzerland : mountains, lakes and chocolate](/_astro/01M5J4124MCR5WBXAPXY8BMN83.COn9YTWr_Z1l0N9k.webp) ### [Jungfraujoch vs Gornergrat vs Schilthorn: Which to Choose?](https://www.mobeeinternational.com/articles/jungfraujoch-vs-gornergrat-vs-schilthorn) Jungfraujoch vs Gornergrat vs Schilthorn: cost, travel time, views and altitude compared, plus which summit fits your base and our weather rule for going up. ![Lucerne 2](/_astro/01M5J4124FV0NDJM68AX2V6K08.BBevgpTQ_2aG6B0.webp) ### [Best Time to Visit Switzerland: A Season-by-Season Guide](https://www.mobeeinternational.com/articles/best-time-to-visit-switzerland) When to visit Switzerland for scenic trains, hiking, lakes or skiing: our Alps designers compare every season, month by month, with crowds and prices. ## Frequently asked questions ### Does the Swiss Travel Pass cover the Glacier Express? Yes, the ticket is covered. The mandatory seat reservation (CHF 54 in 2026, one price all year) is not. The same applies to the Bernina Express. ### Does the pass include Jungfraujoch? Partly. The pass covers the train from Interlaken to Grindelwald or Wengen; from there, the Jungfraujoch ticket is 25 % off. Gornergrat, Pilatus, Schilthorn and Titlis are 50 % off; Rigi and Stanserhorn are free. ### Half Fare Card or Swiss Travel Pass? The Half Fare Card (CHF 150 for a month) halves every ticket, mountain railways included. It wins when you stay in one or two places and take one or two excursions. The pass wins when you move every two days and take boats and local trains freely. ### Should I buy 1st or 2nd class? Second class in Switzerland is clean, punctual and panoramic. First class gives more space and quieter cars, useful in July and August on the popular routes. Our 7-day Swiss trips include 1st-class rail.
