I am a little confused(doesn't take much) . Thinking that the 8 day Flex travel is best for us . When reading about the trip to Mt. Rigi it says it is free with the Swiss Travel Card. Does that mean I still have to pay 1/2 the fare. Also I am unclear if, with this card I still have to book each leg of the train in Switzerland and pay flex fare as well.
Take pity on this ole gal in your replies lol.

This pass completely covers the route to Mt Rigi, including the boat , cogwheel train, and lift ( if you come down on the other side.)
You do not book anything with this pass- just jump on! The convenience is great!
Of course, not all routes are covered, but Rigi and Stanserhorn are.
Enjoy!

Make sure you understand that the Swiss Travel Pass Flex requires a little extra work in picking all your travel days, until the “regular” Swiss Travel Pass where you just need to pick you start date.

Most of us just get the Swiss Travel Pass, not the Flex version.

And do note that if you merely show your pass, to obtain a discount, that counts as a use day.
I agree with Carrie on the convenience factor!

How many days will you be in Switzerland? If you compare the 15-day continuous pass with the 8-day flex, you will see the continuous pass is only 40 CHF more. Then you can be a little more flexible and take some spur-of-the-moment trips.
