Visiting Titlis with a Lucerne visitor card and Passepartout?
A traveler staying in Lucerne is unsure if their visitor card functions like a Passepartout for their trip to Titlis. They want to know if they need to buy an individual ticket or if an extension would be enough. The traveler is looking for clear advice on ticket requirements for their visit.
- The Lucerne Visitor Card only provides free travel within city zone 10 and does not cover Titlis directly.
- To reach Engelberg from Lucerne, purchase a full-fare ticket for the necessary zones, as an extension ticket will not suffice.
- Check for discounts on the Engelberg-Titlis return ticket available with your visitor card.

Hello, Im staying in Lucern and received a visitor card from the accommodation host.
Does it count as a Passepartout? Im visiting Titlis and not sure if I have to take the individual ticket or extension would be sufficient.

Hi shn,
The Lucerne visitor card covers free travel within zone 10, which is city central Lucerne. So for a visit to Titlis, you would need to purchase an extension ticket. You may want to check the Lucerne visitor card discounts, it may include discounted travel to Titlis.

Hi shn,
I can’t draw on personal experience to answer your question, as I always have a Tell-Pass (https://www.myswissalps.com/travel-ticket/tell-pass-summer/; https://www.myswissalps.com/travel-ticket/tell-pass-winter/ ) or Swiss Travel Pass when in Luzern. However, this is how I see it based on general experience of transport ticketing in Switzerland.
Your Lucerne Visitor Card gives you free travel within Zone 10 only. On the line to Engelberg, that will get you as far as Hergiswil.
From Hergiswil to Engelberg, you need a full-fare ticket for 5 zones, CHF 13.
Your screenshot shows the extension ticket is only valid for one zone, so that would not get you as far as Engelberg – only as far as Niederrickenbach.

Your Lucerne Visitor Card will also give you a discount of “10% on the return ticket Engelberg-Titlis not cumulative”.
I hope this helps!

Hi shn
Like Alpenrose. I cannot draw on personal experience as, when I am in Switzerland, I always have a Swiss Travel Pass (https://www.myswissalps.com/travel-ticket/tell-pass-winter/).
For peace of mind and to avoid any problems with train conductors you should go to the booking office at Luzern station, show your Lucerne Visitor Card, and ask for a return to Engelberg. The person behind the desk will know which ticket issue.
Have a great trip to Titlis!
