If you want to travel a lot by train in Switzerland, it is going to cost you a pretty penny. Especially if you are covering long distances at a time.
However, there are a few ways to save money using the various Swiss train passes available.
Swiss day passes for the train are one such way to save a fortune on travel. You pay only once and can travel as much as you want across Switzerland in one day.
