Hello everyone,

If I buy an eurail pass and want to use it in sbb.ch how can i use it as the steps in the booking does not show me to use eurail pass although i can see from eurail website that sbb is covered in eurail global pass.

Hello jabdulsamad

Using an Eurail Pass, you are not required to book tickets. You simply activate your pass before boarding an SBB train, and the Eurail Pass is then your ticket. It allows travels on the SBB rail network (and some others) at will.

As I said in this post, you should carefully consider your choice and ask yourself whether Eurail is the right pass for you at all: https://community.sbb.ch/t5/Swiss-Travel-Pass-travelcards/I-have-Eurail-Pass/m-p/62741#M7471

The Swiss Travel Pass or Swiss Half Fare Card might be the better offer. And they come with the complimentary Swiss Family Card, with it, children aged 6-15.99 travel for free when accompanied by one parent holding a valid ticket.

By the way, there is an excellent website from a well-experienced train traveller, The man in Seat 61. He explains the various passes available for Switzerland and might help you in making the decision for the right pass: Train travel in Switzerland | Swiss Travel Passes explained (seat61.com)
