Switzerland Rail Passes
Switzerland is a small expensive  country where a railpass can save you money --particularly if you plan to do scenic train rides. In addition, if you are traveling with another person and plan to take lots of trains, lifts, and boats, the Swiss Flexi railpasses are usually the best value. You may purchase a second-class pass at any age. Passes are available in consecutive and flexi versions and are Free for children under the age of 16 who are traveling with parents. Saver passes are a great deal  for 2 or more people traveling together.

For a few days in Switzerland, your Selectpass or Eurailpass is fine. It can get you discounts on some lifts and mountain trains and free boat trips on Swiss lakes. Those who are traveling through France +Italy or Spain will want to add a Combo pass to your Swiss pass.
