Questions about the Swiss Family Card (Swiss Half Fair Card holders)

Vedeangoa87

Question about train tickets for children whose parents have a Swiss Half Fair Card and who have a Family Card.

We will be travelling this summer with two adults and a 15-year-old child.
I recently purchased two Swiss Half Fair Cards and a Family Card.

In this case, I think that I do not have to buy a ticket for my child.
Am I right?

From SBB:
Children from their 6th up to their 16th birthday accompanied by at least one parent (holding a Swiss Travel System ticket) travel free of charge on train, bus, boat and mountain railway with the complimentary Swiss Family Card.

Is the Swiss Half Fair card included in the Swiss Travel System ticket?

Thank you in advance.

Hello Vedeangoa87

If you have the Swiss Family Card for your child, you generally do not need another ticket to purchase for your child.

The Swiss Half Fare Card must be purchased separately: https://www.sbb.ch/en/tickets-offers/tickets/guests-abroad/swiss-halffare-card.html

I wish you a nice day.

Kind regards,

FatimaH Is the Swiss Family card simply part of the half-fare card or is this a seprate card? I don’t see anywhere to “add” the Swiss Family card. I am only able to purchase half-fare cards and I am not able to add my children under the age of 16.
Thank you!

Thanks for the reply.
I bought two Swiss Half Fair Cards, one Family Card, two Saver Day Passes and a Glacier Express seat reservation ticket for three people to take the Glacier Express.
Is this all right?
It’s great that 15 year olds get free!

Small side note: Fare, not Fair 🙂

Yes, you are all set.

Happy travels,
