Buying point-to-point tickets using Swiss Travel Pass

[Dibyojyoti]

Hello,

I bought a 2nd class Swiss Travel Pass for 3 days from Deutsche Bahn Germany, the tickets were printed and delivered to me as a printed paper ticket. I see lots of Funiculars, Chairlifts comes with discount if we have Swiss Travel Pass. Now my questions is how I can buy those point to point tickets with discount using Swiss Travel Pass? is it only possible to buy them from ticket counters ? or can I buy them through SBB app and somehow specify that I have a Swiss Travel Pass ? or I can buy them frim SBB website and printout or load in SBB app ?

It depends. If the Swiss Travel Pass entitles you to a 50% reduction for the route, you can buy a 1/2 fare ticket. Reductions of 25% (for example, for Jungfraujoch) can only be purchased at the ticket counter.
You can buy tickets in the SBB Shop (www.sbb.ch/en) or in the SBB Mobile app. If you buy them in the SBB Shop, first open a user account and make sure you are logged in during the purchase. You can then log in with the same account on the SBB Mobile app and see the tickets listed under "Tickets". Make sure you select 1/2 fare when purchasing a ticket for a route where the STP grants 50% off.

See the validity map to find out where the STP is valid or entitles to buy tickets at reduced fare:
