Swiss Resort Transfers
Transfers to your Swiss resort will be by train, although sometimes it can include a boat or bus journey too. If you haven't already experienced Swiss Rail then you are in for a treat. Not only are they as punctual as a Swiss watch, but you can sit back in comfort and enjoy the magnificent scenery. You can also upgrade to 1st class travel for extra comfort.
Swiss Card
This is included in all of our holidays and gives you unlimited travel on both your arrival and departure transfer days. You can stop off and enjoy other sights on the way to your resort. It also includes a 50% discount on most of the Swiss transport network for the rest of your stay.
Swiss Pass
The Swiss Pass offers unlimited travel on all trains, buses and boats for the duration of the pass and includes your transfer to and from the airport plus 25-50% reduction on mountain-top trains and cable cars. If you want to see everything that Switzerland has to offer then this is the card for you.
Please note: You must book a pass to cover the full duration of your stay eg. 7 night holidays need 8 day pass.
Swiss Flexi Pass
The Swiss Flexi Pass allows you to be more flexible than the Swiss Pass by giving you unlimited travel for 3 days of your choice throughout your stay. You'll also still benefit from a 50% discount on most of the Swiss transport network for the rest of your stay, and receive the Swiss Card for transfers to and from resort.
Regional Passes
For those who want to make the very most of the local area, we can also offer regional passes that can accompany your Swiss Card. This covers the local transport network as well as offering huge savings on excursions in resort. (please see resort pages for details)
