Question about interrail

I'm planning a trip to Switzerland. And I have doubts about the following questions:

  1. With the ‘Interrail Switzerland Youth Pass’ could I plan a flight from Spain to Switzerland and then redeem the Pass in Switzerland?
     
  2. I haven't seen anything about a specific tour with the Pass, only the information of the days per month you can stay in the country. It takes you directly to the payment page without telling you the places the Interrail passes through. Do I have to do something I'm missing to see where the train goes?
     
  3. Finally, could I purchase the Pass now (September) and redeem it in December?

Thank you so much for reading.

  1. You can get to Switzerland any way you like, and then use the pass.
  2. You can use most Swiss trains and a few ferries. An overview is on this map.
  3. Sure that's possible: you have 11 months to activate a mobile pass. You can also buy it just 1 day in advance.

2 - Interrail isn’t a specific tour. It’s just a ticket that works on (most) regular trains in Switzerland. It’s up to you to decide where you want to go.

You can reach pretty much anywhere in the country. You can plan with the map that ​@rvdborgt linked, and by checking timetables on sbb.ch
