Current-source trail

Fares and conditions belong to the operators.

The two SBB pages answer the main Swiss Travel Pass questions: one publishes the price table, the other states what the pass covers. Every pass claim on this site traces to those two.

SBB — buy the Swiss Travel Pass

The operator's own Swiss Travel Pass price table by duration and class, and the date those prices are valid until. Every pass price on this site is read from here.

What these sources cover

What the sources can and cannot prove.

A source trail should state its limits as clearly as its conclusions.

Prices need route and conditions

A from-price is not a universal fare. The guide names the operator, origin, date, class, discount card and reservation condition whenever they affect what a traveller will actually pay.

Use the closest current authority

Titlis operating information is linked through Engelberg's official destination site. Swiss Travel Pass prices and coverage come directly from SBB. When several organisations repeat a fact, this guide cites the operator or authority responsible for it.

A refuted claim, recorded so it stays refuted

The Swiss Travel Pass and the Swiss Half-Fare Card are different products. This guide does not describe a booking partner as selling the Half-Fare Card unless a current, working product page proves it.

Affiliate disclosure

Some links on this site earn us a commission.

Stated once here in full, and again on every individual page that carries such a link.

What that means

Where this site links to GetYourGuide, Viator, Booking.com, or Agoda, those are affiliate links: if you book through one, El Premier may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. They are marked as sponsored links and every page carrying one says so on the page itself.

What it does not mean

No operator, tourism board, or booking partner pays for placement, coverage, or a verdict here. The Swiss Travel Pass is price-fixed across every reseller, so routing you to one costs you nothing. Where the honest answer is "do not buy this", that is what the page says — the Jungfraujoch guide is the clearest example.
