Hi @Timothy1 

thank you very much for your question. 

A GA pass is a contract, valid at least 6 months, allowing holders to travel everywhere in Switzerland when it is valid. This is not the best option for tourists. 

Depending on how long you are staying and how often you are travelling, there are different options that work for you:

-you can buy day passes: with this much advance you can get saver day passes. Those are tickets valid all day everywhere in Switzerland and you can get them online: Saver Day Pass – book earlier, travel cheaper | SBB

.you can purchase a Swiss Travel Pass: Swiss Travel Pass – the All-in-one-Ticket for Switzerland | SBB Tje best option would be the one for three days. 

If you have any further question, please call our colleagues at the SBB Contact Center (0041 848 44 66 88, CHF 0.08/min), available 24/7. 

I wish you a nice day
