The points card for frequent travellers
Save up to 37.5% per trip with the points card
Do you travel at least four times a year on the Lötschberg or Simplon car transport service? Then it's worth buying a points card. It is valid for three years, and depending on the amount you top up you can get between two and a maximum of 17 journeys for free.
You pay CHF 250.00, and with that you can add CHF 300.00 to the card. With this bonus amount of CHF 50.00, we give you up to two free journeys, depending on the day of the week and the route travelled. If you top up your points card with an amount of CHF 750.00, you can add CHF 1,200.00 of credit and benefit from up to 17 free journeys on the Lötschberg. With the points card, you can also enjoy your own lane at the ticket booth for much of the year.
