This pass worked wonders and is such a great deal for anyone who wants to experience a flexible trip in Switzerland. I used this card to visit Jungfraujoch and also took scenic trains. The discounts were huge. I also found the card super easy to use.

So glad I purchased this card, it saved me so much money. I loved having the freedom to buy tickets as and when I needed them and still getting a big discount on all of them. I used the card for scenic trains and mountain rides too, which was awesome because those can get pretty expensive.
