Generic travel widgets lie about Switzerland. A "currency converter" doesn't know what an SBB Saver Day is or why a CHF 40 vignette is rarely worth it for two days. So every tool is rewritten for the Swiss rulebook.
This is a small, no-account, no-tracker site. We may run unobtrusive display ads in the future (Google AdSense), and the privacy policy explains exactly what that means for your data.
Live SBB timetables, real-time weather, current closures — for those, the tool's "Where to verify" panel points you to the official source. We do not invent live data.
