Hi,

I read on a blog that tram and bus transport on Switzerland is free via your hotel if you make them aware you have Eurail pass. I cannot find solid proof of that , and if it is all hotels - could anyone who's done such a thing confirm please? Is it only certain hotels , or are there various ways to get free or reduced public transport (other than the trains of course)

Thanks

hey, as far as I know, that's not included. I did hear that some hotels offer a Guest Card, wich allows you to travel inside town for free.
Iff you stay at an hotel, ask them about it.

When I'm in Switzerland for more days, I buy a Swiss Travel Pass Flex. Almost all transport for free (read the conditions) and only a few scenic routes need a seat reservation.

@Jem 

In Geneva, for example, you receive a mail in advance, you can download the ticket before your arrival and use it from the station/airport to your hotel, but every city has its own rules.

Quite a few cities have a guest card that includes some of the local transport. ( For example guest cards in Luzern, Interlaken, Davos  include local transport in some form)
