The Swiss Travel Pass is a travel pass for foreign tourists that allows unlimited free travel on all public transportation including trains, trams, buses, gondolas, and boats in over 90 cities in Switzerland, and offers some discounts (25-50%) on mountain transport such as mountain railways, funiculars, and cable cars.

In 2026, the Swiss Travel Pass provides a tiered system for mountain transport. It offers free travel on gondolas and cable cars that serve as essential transit to "inhabited" villages, such as the gondolas to Mürren, Wengen, or Rigi. However, for most purely "tourist" mountain railways and high-altitude gondolas (like the Titlis Rotair, the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise, or the Schilthorn), the pass generally only provides a 50% discount. Some high-demand peaks, like the Jungfraujoch, only offer a 25% discount from Wengen or Grindelwald. It is a common misconception that the pass covers everything; travelers should always check the "Validity Map" for the current year. To use the discount, you must have an "active" travel day on your pass (if using a Flex pass). For many, the 50% savings on just two or three major peaks effectively pays for the cost of the pass itself, making it a staple for Alpine exploration.
