For your journey with the standard tariff, you pay a distance-related price plus a supplement for travelling in the ICE. (For the journey on most ICEs, the supplement is already included in the ticket price, and on a few ICEs you have to pay the supplement in addition.) Naturally, we recommend that you reserve your seat, and you may purchase the reservation separately. There are tickets for the standard tariff for 1st and 2nd class, and for single and return journeys. You also have a free choice of trains.

With a European supersaver ticket, you can travel to Germany from most stations in Switzerland and in the reverse direction. Supersaver tickets are always issued for a single journey only. We also recommend that you reserve your seat, and you can purchase the reservation separately. With a supersaver ticket, you may only board the selected train and if you do not travel on that train, it becomes invalid. You can purchase supersaver tickets for 1st and 2nd class but their numbers are limited.

At night you travel with the City Night Line (CNL) to Germany. For the journey with the City Night Line you will be issued a so-called global price ticket, and the seat reservation, the supplement for the place in the sleeping car, couchette or seating car as well as the fare are included in this. This ticket is valid exclusively for the train and on the day for which it was issued. The period of validity cannot be extended. These global price tickets are issued at the market price, i.e. the prices are higher or lower depending on the season and day of departure.

The fares are calculated separately for passengers and vehicles on the DB Autozug. You receive the corresponding tickets at the flat-rate fare, depending on the price bracket. The date of travel is crucial for calculating the price.

For vehicles, the prices are divided into three categories: motor vehicles, motorbikes and trailers.

For adults, the flat-rate fare includes the price for the route and seat reservation. For children up to and including 14.99 years, you can book individual seats at a reduced price (50%). If they do not require their own seat, children under 6 years travel free of charge when accompanied by a paying adult. A maximum of 1 adult and 1 child under 6 years may share a couchette berth.

Autozug Special.

From CHF 123, you and your car can travel on the DB Autozug to Germany. You pay just CHF 75 for each additional person. The offer includes a single place in the couchette for each person and transportation of the vehicle.

Please book the space for your car and the associated reservation early at your station, or via Rail Service on 0900 300 300 (CHF 1.19/min. from the Swiss fixed-line network). You will also be issued with your timetables and information.
