You don't want to leave man's best friend all alone at home while you go off for a day out by train? No problem: your trusty canine is welcome on our trains too.
Dogs of any size travelling in passenger carriages or luggage vans must always pay second-class half fare or the stipulated minimum fare (1-day travelpass for dogs, GA travelcard for dogs) if there is one.
Exception: small dogs up to 30 cm high at the top of their shoulder blades can travel with you free of charge as carriage hand luggage provided they are in a carrier, basket or other suitable container
Dogs can only be put on seats when in suitable carriers. You must buy a half price 2nd class ticket for each seat occupied in this way.
If you are in possession of a valid ticket, your dog can enjoy unlimited travel by train, boat, Postbus and most Swiss urban public transport services for a 1-day travelpass for dogs for just CHF 35.
Your faithful friend is therefore free to accompany you wherever you go for the entire day – just as if he or she had a General Abonnement.
If you take your dog on the train regularly, it will certainly be worthwhile buying a GA travelcard for dogs for CHF 805.
1-day travelpasses for dogs and GAs travelcards for dogs are not valid for a particular class and can be used in both first and second class. However, the person accompanying the dog must hold a valid ticket for the appropriate class. Carriage of animals in coaches offering meals and refreshments (with the exception of coaches served by a Minibar) is prohibited. This does not apply to guide dogs and assistance dogs.
