Help: Question on a child (6yo)

LorenzSingapore

Hi, please help. I have bought the 1 month half fare card (120CHF) and got my child (6yo) a Family Card.

I have reserved 2 seats on Glacler Express (Zermatt to St Moritz). (Reservation only)

Now I want to book the ticket on sbb.ch. Do I input my child as ‘no discount’? Or I just do not input my child and i buy for myself only?

Thank you. 😅

Hello LorenzSingapore

That’s the right answer:
Or I just do not input my child and i buy for myself only

Keep in mind you still need to reserve the seats in addition on the Glacier Express website. Albeit a ticket is not necessary with the Swiss Family Card, your child still needs a payable seat reservation.

Best regards,
Roland

Thank you Roland.

1 more question. For St Moritz or Chur to Munich, still having the adult half fare and child family card, do I book adult only? or i must add child no discount?

Hello LorenzSingapore

The Half Fare Card and the Swiss Family Card are valid as far as to the border station, being Buchs SG, St. Margrethen, or St. Gallen depending on the connection you will take.

You can declare these reduction cards while booking a through ticket, they are accountable for the Swiss stretch. Alternatively, you can split the journey and book a ticket for the Eurocity train only, from the station where it leaves Switzerland, and a ½ fare ticket for you for the travel from St. Moritz to this station. Your child will travel for free.

The booking is possible through Deutsche Bahn (https://int.bahn.de/en), or SBB (https://sbb-tickets.cc/en)

Let us know should you have more queries.

Best,
Roland

I mean the child is travelling for free in Switzerland; you will need a ticket for Germany, though. But I think you got it.
