Does my child also need a SwissPass card? No. If you want your child to travel for free, you have the option of buying one of the Swiss Travel System products (e.g. the Swiss Travel Pass). Your child will then receive a Swiss Family Card for free. If you decide not to use a Swiss Travel System product, you can buy a Swiss Junior Travelcard to allow children to travel for free at any staffed point of sale. You receive it in paper form with a validity of 30 days for the price of CHF 30. If you are travelling in 2nd class and are only making a few journeys or travelling with your child for one day, the following further alternatives are available: the Day Pass Children for CHF 19 (valid for one calendar day in the GA Travelcard area of validity). A half-price Point-to-Point Ticket for each journey (worthwhile for journeys for which the ticket costs less than CHF 19 per day). so my understanding is that parents can get those cards for their kids even if they are tourist?
