What the Point-to-Point Ticket offers.

Easy to buy via the timetable.

It’s easiest to buy Point-to-Point Tickets via the timetable – online or in the SBB Mobile / Preview app. Enter the route and date you wish to travel, search for your connection and select your ticket.

For everyone aged over 6 and for all classes of travel.

All passengers aged over 6 require a ticket, e.g. a Point-to-Point Ticket, for every public transport journey from A to B. Point-to-Point Tickets are available for 1st and 2nd class, and at full price or the Half Fare Travelcard price.

The full price applies to adults aged over 16 without a Half Fare Travelcard or Half Fare Card.

The Half Fare Travelcard price applies to children aged at least 6 and under 16 and to passengers with a Half Fare Travelcard or a Half Fare Card.

Children aged under 6 do not need a ticket; they always travel free of charge.

In fare networks, Point-to-Point Tickets are usually referred to as single tickets and are valid in defined zones.

Valid for one calendar day.

Point-to-Point Tickets are valid on the calendar day specified at the time of purchase.

The period of validity starts at midnight and ends at 5am the following day. If a ticket is valid for several days, the period of validity ends at 5am on the day following the last day of validity.

If you do not complete your journey/return journey on the same day or by 5am the following day, please purchase a single ticket for each corresponding route.

Warning: In fare networks, Point-to-Point Tickets have a restricted period of validity.

Breaks in journey permitted.

You can break up your journey along the selected route as often as you like and get on and off the train at any stop. The important thing is to have completed your journey by the end of the period of validity (i.e. by 5am the following day). If not, please buy a ticket for the relevant time and route.

Warning: In fare networks, multiple-journey tickets have a restricted period of validity.

For dogs and bicycles too.

If you are loading a bicycle yourself or taking a dog with you, buy a Point-to-Point Ticket for it at the Half Fare Travelcard price.

Please enter the name of the person travelling with the dog / bicycle when you make the purchase.

Please note that from CHF 25 it is worth getting a Day Pass for Dogs for your dog, and from CHF 15 it is worth getting a Bike Day Pass for your bicycle.
