Group tickets
With a group ticket, groups of 10 or more travel 30% cheaper
If you’re planning a group trip within Switzerland, you have come to the right place. Our BLS Travel Centres will be happy to organise all your transport for you, so making the arrangements is a breeze. Fill in the handy online form at least two working days before your group trip is due to start – and simply leave the rest to us.
The group ticket is the ideal ticket for company outings, club excursions, school trips or simply for travel groups of 10 or more people. It is available at full price for adults over 25 years and at half price for children and young people from 6 years up to their 25th birthday.

Book a group trip and reserve seats
We reserve seats for you free of charge on trains, buses and boats. We will send you the tickets by post on request, for a fee of CHF 5.00. You can book seats conveniently using our online form up to five days before departure at the latest. We are happy to accept bookings at shorter notice up to two working days before departure in person or by telephone at one of our travel centres.
Please note that groups will not be transported on individual trains. The affected connections are marked accordingly in the timetable.
We recommend early booking for larger groups. Please note that we cannot reserve seats on regional trains and that early reservations are required for some special trains (e.g. Glacier Express).
You can book your group journey online, in person at the ticket counter or by telephone at your BLS Travel Centre.
Moving or cancelling your trip or changing the number of travellers
If you need to move or cancel your group trip, please contact your BLS Travel Centre by 11.00 hours the day before at the latest.
There is no additional charge for moving your group trip. If you cancel your trip, we will charge a fee of CHF 10.00 per request.
If the registered passengers are unable to travel at short notice, you may confirm the actual number of travellers free of charge at the train station up to 30 minutes before departure. Or contact the train crew during the outward and return journey if possible. We will refund the relevant costs after the journey or credit them to the account. To do this, we need the validated group ticket and the unused counterfoils. We will charge a fee of CHF 10.00 per request.
