    Hi lilik,

    Yes, Mt. Pilatus is free with the Swiss Travel pass – click here to see all that is covered by the Swiss Travel Pass.

    If you have a Swiss Travel Pass you can order for free the Swiss Family Card at the same time. This will cover your kids on all routes completely (even if you have to pay a partial amount).

    You can buy the Swiss Travel Pass online and have it emailed to you for printing here.

    Visited Pilatus last week and just wanted to reconfirm, Pilatus is definitely free with the Swiss Travel Pass – just show the people at the entrance booth your pass and they will issue you the entrance tickets that you will need to get into each ride – cog wheel train, and both cable cars.

    Thank you so much Lukas & Beatrix for the information..very appreciate it😊. If my base town is in interlaken which peak do you suggest the most to visit? Since all peaks are beautiful and we confuse to decide it.

    We’ll be in switzerland from july 1- july 6 and Luzern will be our 1st visit.

    Can you give me swiss peak price list?

    Thank you

    Mt. Pilatus and Mt. Rigi are very popular (and both free with the Swiss Travel Pass) so you can’t go wrong there. Both are easily reached from Luzern as well.

    Mt. Titlis and Stanserhorn are also nearby and good options but there is a cost for them still (they are 50% off with the Swiss Travel Pass).

    You can find links to each mountains own website on my links above to get you ticket prices. Titlis would be 46chf round-trip (with your discount) and Stanserhorn is 37chf round-trip (with your discount).
