Should I purchase the Swiss Saver Pass "on line " while in the US or wait until I arrive in Switzerland?
I bought mine from Rick Steve's website before I went to Switzerland. I am not sure if you can buy them there? Check it out on this site.
yes, you can buy them there, too. The difference is that one is priced in US Dollars and the other is priced in Chf.
You can buy them in Switzerland, but at the current exchange rate it will cost you more. For example, a 3-day Flex Saver pass is $240 if you buy it here. The cost in Switzerland is 216 CHF, which is $244 at the current exchange rate. Plus, your credit card may add foreign Transaction Fees to a purchase in Switzerland. Buy it on this website and you get free shipping plus a 20% discount on purchases in the Travel Store (luggage and accessories.)
Thank you very much. We are buying our passes before we go to Switzerland via Rick Steve.
