Unfortunately, we cannot offer e-tickets yet for Swiss passes. Our tickets are printed in a special paper and you it is compulsory to carry them during the train journeys, as most probably you will be requested to produce them by the conductor
What if the pass gets lost
Passes are a valid travel document, so in case of a loss, anyone who finds them will be able to use them. The only way we might refund them would be that we have the original pass before the departure date, so in case you lose them during your trip, there won't be any possible refund.
