Hi, we're planning to visit Switzerland as tourists for 30 days, and my wife and I are each planning to get the 1-month GA Travelcard. I had some questions about that: 1. Do babies ride trains for free with parents who have this card? 2. Are boats included like with the Swiss Travel Pass? 3. Are mountain excursions discounted 50% like with the STP? (cable cars, funiculars, and scenic trains) 4. Is the 1 month GA Travelcard refundable if canceled before the first day of validity? Thank you very much

1-month GA Travelcard questions

Hi, we’re planning to visit Switzerland as tourists for 30 days, and my wife and I are each planning to get the 1-month GA Travelcard.

I had some questions about that:

Do babies ride trains for free with parents who have this card?
Are boats included like with the Swiss Travel Pass?
Are mountain excursions discounted 50% like with the STP? (cable cars, funiculars, and scenic trains)
Is the 1 month GA Travelcard refundable if canceled before the first day of validity?

Thank you very much

Hello DaVLeiT55

Do you wanna have advice on the 1-month GA travel card or the Swiss Travel Pass? They are not the same. Mixing up the questions is quite confusing.

Do babies ride trains for free with parents who have this card?

Children up to 5.99 years of age travel for free, in any case.

Are boats included like with the Swiss Travel Pass?

Yes, almost all boats. See the validity map for details.

Are mountain excursions discounted 50% like with the STP? (cable cars, funiculars, and scenic trains)

YES

Is the 1 month GA Travelcard refundable if canceled before the first day of validity?

You shall purchase it upon arrival. There is no financial advantage in purchasing it ahead of time.

Kind regards,
Roland

Hi Roland,

Thanks for your response.

My questions are about the 1-month GA travel card, not the Swiss Travel Pass. I’m interested in this one:

https://www.sbb.ch/en/offers/ga-1-month

Would that change any of your answers, or are they still the same?

Regarding my last question, the reason I would like to purchase it ahead of time is because the SBB site says it takes 10 days to mail by post, and we will only be staying at our first AirBNB location for 11 nights, so it’s a bit risky to do it like that.

Seems better to buy it online, but I don’t see the cancellation policy for this specific travelcard addressed anywhere on the SBB site.

Thanks

Hello DaVLeiT55

The 1-month GA Travel Card has the same range of validity, except of the fact that it is not offering the museums pass.

The 1-month GA Travel Card can be cancelled before the first day of validity. A cancellation fee applies, however.

Kind regards,
Roland
