Magic Travel The revolution of your mountain mobility

Magic Travel is an exclusive benefit for Magic Pass holders. It includes up to 5 public transport day trips (credits) to reach a Magic Pass partner destination in Switzerland during the 2026/2027 winter season (from 01.11.2026 to 30.04.2027), in combination with the use of the ski lifts.

Each Magic Travel credit corresponds to one trip.

Depending on the type of journey:

1 credit = One-way trip

1 credit = Round trip on the same day

2 credits = Outbound and return trips on different dates (one credit per trip)

Credits are personal, linked to your Magic Pass number, and automatically deducted at the time of booking.

Eligible participants:

Holders of a valid Magic Pass.

For journeys from within Switzerland to a Swiss Magic Pass ski resort. Magic Pass holders living abroad can purchase the international portion of their journey separately and use Magic Travel for the Swiss leg.

Not eligible:

Magic Pass holders who already have a Swiss General Abonnement (GA).

Children with a Junior Travelcard (if traveling with at least one parent).

Journeys outside Swiss territory.

Yes. Resorts in France and Italy are not included in the Magic Travel offer.

Furthermore, certain Swiss Magic Pass resorts are not included in the offer as they are difficult to reach by public transport:

Springenboden, Faltschen, Heimenschwand, Ottenleue (Egg ski lift), Rossberg, Rüschegg, Selital, Wilerallmi, Les Paccots, Rathvel, Mayens de Conthey, Valbirse.

To validate your credit, ski lift usage with your Magic Pass is mandatory.

Depending on the type of trip:

One-way trip: you must use the ski lifts with your Magic Pass on the day of travel or the following day (D+1).

Round trip on the same day: you must use the ski lifts with your Magic Pass on the same day.

Outbound and return on different dates: you must use the ski lifts with your Magic Pass at least once between the outward and return journeys.

In the absence of any recorded lift usage with Magic Pass, the transport ticket shall be deemed non-compliant with the combined offer and may be treated as fraudulent use:

The Magic Pass holder will be charged the official public transport rate, based on the declared subscription.

Any remaining credits for the Magic Pass holder concerned are cancelled.

Until midnight the day before travel: free cancellation, and the credit will be returned.

After midnight the day before and until departure: cancellation is possible, but the credit will be lost. This prevents misuse and avoids ticket re-billing.

No cancellation and no lift usage: ticket will be charged at the official rate and remaining credits will be cancelled.

No. Magic Travel credits are personal, associated with the holder's Magic Pass number, and cannot be transferred to anyone else.

No. Magic Travel credits are intended exclusively for travel to Magic Pass ski resorts, and their use is conditional upon using the ski lifts with your Magic Pass. They cannot be used to travel to thermal baths.

You are free to start your outbound journey from any Swiss station.
However, your Magic Pass destination must be the same on the way there and on the way back. Some destinations have several stops when they are part of the same interconnected ski area. You can then arrive at one stop and leave from another, sometimes even from a different resort, provided both are linked by ski within the same ski area.

Magic Travel tickets can be booked exclusively via the Magic Pass website or mobile app. Purchase is not possible through SBB channels (website, counters, app, etc.). To buy, you must first create a Magic Pass account. Once logged in, go to the Magic Travel tab, select the Magic Pass holder(s), choose your journey, and use your available credits.

Half-fare travelcard holders must select the appropriate fare. Tickets can be purchased up until the scheduled departure time.

Yes. You can purchase tickets for all individuals linked to the same Magic Pass order (adults and children). Tickets cannot be purchased for people outside your order.

Magic Travel purchases are limited to 7 days in advance to help manage credit availability and ensure that all Magic Pass holders have a faire opportunity to purchase tickets.

Magic Travel tickets are issued in 2nd class. If you wish to travel in 1st class, you can purchase a 1st-class supplement directly via the SBB app or website, in addition to your Magic Travel ticket.

Magic Pass applies credit limits on certain routes to ensure a quality experience and prevent overcrowding at specific times. If no credit is available for your selected departure:

Choose another time,

Choose another Magic Pass destination, or

Purchase a ticket directly via SBB.ch or the SBB app.

Please note that your Magic Pass transport ticket does not include a seat reservation.

To help manage passenger flow, it is very important to respect your chosen departure time. In case of connection issues or timetable changes, your ticket will automatically remain valid for the next available connection.

Once confirmed, your ticket is available via:

The Magic Pass app (QR code + downloadable PDF).

Your Magic Pass web account (view, download, or print).

The confirmation email (PDF attachment).

The ticket includes your personal details, selected route, date, time, and a QR code. Tickets are personal, non-transferable, and valid only when presented with an official ID.

All passengers must carry a valid transport ticket.

.

In some cases, the final section of the journey is already included in your Magic Pass. The stop suggested in Magic Travel is therefore the last stop before this free section of the journey.

You must buy a Magic Travel ticket to your chosen stop, then use your Magic Pass to travel the final leg of your journey free of charge. Remember to check your connections on the SBB app or with the relevant transport operator. Your Magic Pass serves as your ticket for this final leg of the journey.

In some cases, the final section of the journey may be operated by a private company that falls outside the scope of the Swiss Pass Alliance. In such cases, Magic Travel can only offer a ticket as far as the last eligible stop. The remaining part of the journey must then be purchased separately on the spot.

Please remember to check the cost and timetable for this final leg of the journey with the transport operator before you travel.

Some local authorities or fare zones may offer free public transport on certain routes to residents of a particular local authority. As these free travel schemes are only available to a limited group of passengers, we advise you to contact your local authority directly to obtain information specific to your situation.
