The Swiss Travel System is incredibly comprehensive and includes rail, lake steamers and city transportation lines. And you'll want to take advantage of all these to journey through the Alps, St. Moritz, Lugano, Zermatt and more. Every Swiss town is connected to the train system.

Trains can take you from Zurich airport to the top of the Jungfrau and its stunning views to the German Black Forest and the French Vosges.

Why Should I Buy a Pass?
Swiss Rail Passes
Swiss rail passes are definitely an excellent choice, unless you just want a quick transfer from the airport to another city. Passes not only provide access to the SBB railway mainline network, but also dozens of local, private companies that operate mountain trains, cable cars, and buses. An added bonus: free entrance to most Swiss museums.
