Would you like to enjoy travel in 1st class for a change? With your 2nd class GA Travelcard, you can benefit from discounted class upgrades for certain routes, for one day or one month. 

If children under 16 have a 2nd class GA Travelcard for Children, they can travel in 1st class with an accompanying person (16 years old or older) without a class upgrade if the accompanying person has a ticket or travelcard for 1st class.

Generally, the GA Travelcard is valid on mountain railways that provide access to residential areas. For journeys on mountain railways and cable cars which are purely for tourists, e.g. up Jungfraujoch, Titlis, etc., being a GA Travelcard holder usually means you pay the reduced price.
