Hello! I live in Germany. I would like to buy an Interrail Switzerland (6in1) to travel around Switzerland for 3 weekends (not consecutively). I will go every Friday 23.00 from Germany, travel around Switzerland on Saturday and Sunday, and go back to Germany in the evening (so I will already at home on Sunday before 23.00). Does my Interrail include 3 outbounds and 3 inbounds, considering I travel 3 times?

Hi and welcome.
In general inbound and outbound travels are not available for Interrail ONE COUNTRY passes, such as the one for Switzerland: [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-one-country-pass[/u]
As for example if you live in Germany and you buy an Interrail ONE country pass Portugal, it would be cool to cross "half of Europe" for free to get to Portugal, to travel around there.
Inbound and outbound travels are only included in the Interrail Global passes [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-global-pass[/u] and there only ONCE.
Sorry for these "negative" news concerning your travel plans.
Pete :)

That was a quick response, thank you, Pete!
Alright, so I need to buy my return tickets (for 3 times) to the nearest Switzerland station and then travel inside Switzerland using the one country pass. Correct me if I\'m wrong.
But, using the global pass, so I only need to buy 2 return tickets?

Yes, that\'s correct.
There are "Sparpreis Europa" tickets available from German railways Deutsche Bahn [ux]https://rail.shop/bahn[/ux] or "Ländertickets", depends were you live in Germany. But you probably know it already. :)
Interrail ONE country: pay 3 times to Switzerland and back home in Germany
Interrail GLOBAL: pay 2 times to Switzerland and back to Germany - and 1 time free (outbound and inbound travel)
Do you plan a certain route or routes in Switzerland ?

Nice!
Yes, I want to travel to Zürich, Bern, Lausanne, Interlaken, Zermatt, Lucerne during those 3 weekends but I haven\'t plan it yet nor knowing what to do in those places.

Have a look at the blog posts above. In our blog there are even more about Switzerland: [ux]https://rail.cc/blog[/ux]
Wouter is a real fan of railways of Switzerland. :)
I personally enjoyed the time on tracks in Switzerland. Very scenic, everything in time. The route of Glacier Express is best to be done by local trains running every 30 minutes at least. There you can get on and off whenever you want. In most cases open the windows and enjoy the fresh air. :)
Sleeping is expensive in Switzerland, therefore I like to go down to Tirano (Italy) in the evening and come back in the morning to Switzerland, especially on this route: [ux]https://rail.cc/blog/zurich-milano-albula-bernina/[/ux]
Have a coffee in Alp Grüm and a walk in Ospizio Bernina.
Pete :)
