It costs around 200chf (that might be a year or so out of date) but once you have it you can purchase train tickets - first or second class - at half price.

So, for example, a trip from Zurich to Milan in first-class would drop from around 300 to 150 chf.

So, if you plan to travel, say, more than three times it pays for itself. I have another tip of a similar nature: Swiss trains are a lot cleaner, newer and better serviced than Italian ones, so if you are travelling from Switzerland to Italy (which is a great journey) then either ask at the ticket counter who is the operator, try to get 'SBB' trains (the Swiss ones) rather than TrenItalia.

Another good operator is CISAlpino which I believe is some kind of joint operation.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15832 Day Trip to Rheinfalls http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10621 For photos and a video, click the link below.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10621 Skiing in Flumserberg http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9947 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9947 The Lindt factory shop http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9580 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9580 Lumiere Restaurant http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9537 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9537 Anthony's Kitchen http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7319 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7319 Zurich Zoo http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5716 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5716 Restaurant Lumiere http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/2701 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/2701 Lilys Restaurant http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1660 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1660
