Hi Chris and others

who are interested in Swiss Rail costs.

A half fare card costs CHF 150 for one year. You can purchase this
card even if you live abroad provided you can produce a private address,
for example with a relative, within Switzerland.
When buying the card, you get a temporary paper pass and the Swiss
rails will send you the card within a week or two.

I am living in the UK but keep renewing my card. It pays off if you travel
by rail from Zurich or Geneva airport to somewhere in the Alps and do at
least CHF 80 worth of local travel. Note that a lot of mountain railways
and boat rides on Swiss lakes are included.
Alternatively, two Geneva-Zurich return fares make the card worthwile.
If you know that you'll keep using Swiss rails you can also renew the card
for more than one year. It costs CHF 350 (250) for three (two) years.

Good value for money with the Swiss rails is also a children pass which
costs CHF 20. With this pass children age 6-16 accompagned by parents
travel with no further costs for one year.

Cheers

        Franz
