Hi,

Being new to the whole Interrail thing I'm thinking of getting a one country ticket for Switzerland for my upcoming 5-day visit (I lived there for 7 months last year) as it seems to be the cheapest option. My problem is I want to take advantage of the SBB's Railaway offers to get some sledging in but I don't know if the Interrail ticket gives you a discount or not. Does anyone have any experience of this? (The Swiss Transport System tickets GA, Swiss Pass and Flexi Pass do give you an extra discount I think)

Thanks very much for your help and I hope that makes sense!

Hi!

I did not find any hint for any reduction whether in SBB nor InterRail tariff documents. :|

Thanks Flo - I couldn't either :S But have worked out it won't be much more expensive even if I don't get the extra discount so going with Interrail anyway!

these things are daft easy if you simpy think of how it works: these tix tipically contain;
a.travel-either on a ticket, full or reduced, or ''paid/covered with GA or InterRail!
b.entry or cost of the acitivity- these are always listed in SBB=CFF brochures, and often a little cheaper as if paid on the spot.
Your IR covers roughly the same as a GA would as for travel on TRAINS-not citybuses etc. You might also look into a SWISS pass ([ux]https://rail.shop/acprail/switzerland[/ux]) =covers the same as GA, incl citybuses etc and all musea.
