This pass was such a lifesaver! I spent 7 days traveling to Zurich, Lucerne, Interlaken and Zermatt without any hassle. The freedom to board trains just like that was amazing. The panoramic train rides were also so breathtaking. Even reserving seats was super simple.

I can’t believe how easy this pass made my trip! It covered all transport – I used it for trains, buses, and even boats. You can also use it to get free entry in some museums. The best part about having this pass was being able to hop on a train without worrying about tickets.
