Can children under 14 years old travel alone with SBB?

Can I take my bike on the train with SBB?

Important: Bike tickets and space reservations must be made directly through the SBB website. We do not offer this service on our platform.

If you wish to travel on an SBB train and take your bike with you, please keep the following guidelines in mind:

Bikes considered hand baggage (no booking required):

Folding bicycles, when folded up.
Bike trailers (no wider than 80cm due to train door dimensions).
Bicycles of children younger than 6.
Shopping carts (including those with a bicycle connection).
(Electric) scooters, provided the largest wheel has a diameter of no more than 30cm or less than 12 inches.
Bicycles packed in a transport bag with their front wheels detached.

For bicycles with their front wheels detached, a special transport bag such as the TranZBag is recommended. Any cover is accepted, as long as the front wheel is inside and the cover is easily portable. These are available in the SBB Shop or from specialist bike/outdoor shops.

Bikes that require a ticket and possible reservation:

Bikes and e-bikes can be transported on most SBB trains with a valid bike ticket.

Reservations are mandatory for bikes on certain routes between March 21 and October 31.
E-bikes (pedal-assisted up to 25 km/h and 250 watts) are allowed, but the battery must not be charged on board.
