Stop guessing which
Swiss rail pass saves you money.
Tell us your itinerary. SwissPassCalculator runs every pass option against your exact route and returns a clear CHF recommendation in under 60 seconds.
“The calculator told me the 6-day Swiss Travel Pass was the move. Jungfraujoch at 50% off was the clincher.”
“The AI flagged the Family Card immediately. Kids rode Mt. Rigi completely free. Incredible.”
Why SwissPassCalculator
Built for people who want the right answer, not just an answer
Generic rail calculators give you generic advice. We built an engine that knows SBB tariff zones, peak-season pricing, excursion discounts, and family rules — and applies them to your specific trip.
Exact-route pricing, not averages
We calculate ticket costs for every leg of your actual itinerary — Zürich to Lauterbrunnen, Grindelwald to Lugano — and compare them against the real annual or consecutive-day pass price.
Adds excursions automatically
Jungfraujoch, Mt. Titlis, Rigi — our engine knows which passes give discounts and which don't, so you never pay full price when a pass covers 50%.
Family and group pricing
Children 6–15 travel free with the Family Card on Swiss Travel Pass. We calculate that automatically. Most calculators don't.
