What is included in Swiss half fare card?

With the Swiss Half Fare Card you can use trains, buses and boats as well as most mountain railroads without restrictions and with a 50% discount. It is valid for one month. It does not include free admission to museums.



The Swiss Half Fare Card is a specialized travel document designed for visitors that provides a 50% discount on nearly all public transportation services throughout Switzerland for one month. This includes the extensive network of the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB), as well as most local buses, trams, and lake steamers. One of its most significant advantages is that it also applies to many expensive mountain railways, cable cars, and funiculars, such as the journey to Jungfraujoch or Mount Pilatus, which are often not fully covered by other passes. Additionally, the card allows holders to purchase "Saver Day Passes" and "Supersaver" tickets at the discounted rate, offering even deeper savings if booked in advance. For families, the card is particularly valuable because it allows you to request a "Swiss Family Card" for free, which enables children under the age of 16 to travel for free when accompanied by a parent holding a valid Half Fare Card. It is an ideal choice for travelers who plan to stay in one region but take several day trips.
