What the Junior Travelcard offers.

Free travel for your children.

With the Junior Travelcard, a child aged at least 6 and under 16 can travel throughout Switzerland free of charge for one year on SBB routes and with most other railways, as well as by boat and Postbus, when accompanied by at least one parent. They also travel free of charge or at discounted prices with a parent on most local public transport tram and bus services. This can be in 1st or 2nd class, depending on the ticket or travelcard the parent holds.

An unbeatable price.

The Junior Travelcard costs just CHF 30 a year per child and parental couple.

Family-friendly.

Parents can get the Junior Travelcard for their third child and any further children free of charge. To obtain the free Junior Travelcard for your third child, please show the other two Junior Travelcards on the children’s SwissPass.

Straightforward ticket inspection.

The Junior Travelcard can be checked via the SwissPass card or SwissPass Mobile (e.g. in the SBB Mobile app) of the child and of the accompanying parent.

Practical renewal.

Parents can renew the Junior Travelcard online. Six weeks before the last day of validity, we will inform the first listed parent that the Junior Travelcard is about to expire – by text message or e-mail, depending on your preference. The message will include a link for the renewal.

Alternatively, you can also renew the Junior Travelcard at ticket machines. To do so, hold the SwissPass card or the digital version, e.g. in the SBB Mobile app, up to the scanner.

Discounts for RailAway leisure experiences.

With the Junior Travelcard, children can take advantage of up to 50% off numerous leisure experiences.
