Switzerland eSIM

Using an eSIM in Switzerland

The rail network is the way visitors cross the country, and that shapes the use of data. Each leg means a route plan, a platform check and a connection, and the mountain excursions add the lift map, the weather and the photos from the summit. A short Geneva or Zurich stay with wifi at the hotel can use a small plan. A tour that takes in Lucerne, Interlaken and Zermatt, with the phone out at every station and every lift, belongs with the larger sizes or the unlimited option. Zermatt is reached by train from the valley below, with cars left behind, so the final part of the journey is where the plan needs to be active and the hotel's instructions need to be to hand. Hotels in Geneva, Interlaken, Lucerne, Zermatt and Zurich are linked from this page. France, Germany, Italy and the other European countries listed below are each sold as separate plans, which matters here because so many Swiss itineraries cross a border.
