Family travel offers

If you're traveling with children, be sure to request the free Swiss Family Card when you buy your Swiss Pass, Swiss FlexiPass, or Swiss Card. The Family Card offers these perks:

• Free travel for children from the ages of 6 through 15 when accompanied by their parents.

• Half-fare travel for accompanied children from 16 through 24 who live at home or attend school full-time.

(Note: Without the Swiss Family Card, children from 6 through 15 pay half-fare; children 5 and under travel free.)

If you forget to request a free Swiss Family Card when ordering your rail pass, you can buy one for at any Swiss railroad station.
