Does the Swiss Family Pass work for siblings?
I cannot find a definitive answer for this anywhere. Swiss Family Passes say they give free travel to a child under 16 travelling with a "parent". Another website says "parent or legal guardian". I am going to Switzerland in April with my brother. Can I use a family pass to get him free travel if I get an Adult Travel Pass? He is 15, I am 23.
Best Answer
It is now possible to get a "Carte Enfant Accompagné" (accompanied (?) Child Card (?)) wich allows a designated adult to travel with children for a year at the cost of 30.- CHF. I got one for each of my step-siblings and the only thing I needed was their ID/Passport. N.B.: I'm Swiss as are my step-siblings and I'm holder of the "AG" (yearly or monthly public transport flatrate(?)) so it might not be a thing for tourists.
