A-month GA Travelcard purchase in Lauterbrunne.

Leo Innsbruck

Hello, I am an international traveller who resides in Innsbruck, Austria with a standard format residence permit issued by Austrian authorities currently. And, I am planning to visit Lauterbrunnen for more than half a month during the summer.

I am wondering if I could purchase the “1-month GA Travelcard (adult)” ticket by the train station in Lauterbrunne? If not, I perhaps have to reach a staffed counter in Zurich to buy and validate the ticket first, because the online identity check was unsuccessful though.

Thank you.
Best regards,

Hi Leo Innsbruck

Thank you for your request.

Lauterbrunnen is not a SBB station, so I can’t tell you whether you can buy the 1-month GA Travelcard there. You can find information and contact details here.

To buy this card, you need to be identified and have a customer number. To carry out the ID Check, you need a valid passport or identity card and a smartphone.

To be able to carry out the ID Check, first log on to sbb.ch/en with your SwissPass login.
Then select the travelcard you want on sbb.ch/en.
You can select your name under «2. Travelcard dates».
On the «Apply for a new SwissPass directly online» link, select «Go to SwissPass identification check».
Follow the process on the website (enter mobile phone number and confirm by SMS code).
Once you have entered the SMS code on the website, you will receive an SMS with the link for the identity check.
Now follow the instructions on your smartphone.
After completing the identity check, you can complete the purchase on sbb.ch/en.

We also need a passport photo for the production of the SwissPass card. You can upload the photo during the purchase process. You can find the specifications for your SwissPass photo at swisspass.ch/picture.

I wish you a nice Sunday.

Kind regards
