Discover the best of Switzerland by rail, road and waterway

ACP Rail International is proud to announce its partnership with the Swiss Travel System and the launch of a new family of products that will help travelers discover Switzerland by rail, road and waterway. European travelers living outside of Switzerland and Liechtenstein can now book Swiss passes, cards and tickets through ACP Rail's website and from its wide network of European distributors.

ACP Rail now offers the full range of Swiss Travel System products. This includes the all-in-one Swiss Pass featuring continuous days of travel throughout Switzerland, famous for its spectacular train rides through the Alps, picturesque bus tours and relaxing boat cruises across Swiss lakes. The Swiss Pass can be purchased for 4, 8, 15 or 22 consecutive days or one full month. It includes unlimited travel on public transport in more than 75 cities throughout Switzerland, a 50% discount on most mountain railways and free admission to over 400 museums. Similarly, the Swiss Flexi Pass offers the same benefits for 3, 4, 5 or 6 days of flexible travel within a period of one month. With a Swiss Saver Pass or a Swiss Flexi Saver Pass, two or more people can travel together and obtain up to 15% discount off their pass.

Or when equipped with a Swiss Transfer Ticket, visitors can travel round-trip to any public transport station in Switzerland after arriving by plane or train.  For example this may be a good option for travelers landing in Geneva, Zurich, Bern or Basel or those arriving by train from Germany, France, Austria or Italy. Travelers can also make their way back to the airport or border station of their choice at the end of their stay.

The Swiss Travel System also includes the Swiss Card and the Swiss Half Fare Card. Valid for one month, they both entitle the traveler to purchase tickets for trains, buses, boats and scenic mountain railways at half price. Additionally, in the case of the Swiss Card, visitors can also travel round-trip to and from Swiss airports and border stations at no extra cost.
