Martigny to Lac d”Emosson with Swiss Travel Pass

Short summary – read this first

Liloander is planning a trip from Vevey to Le Châtelard and wants to know if it's included in the Swiss Travel Pass and if they can buy tickets in Vevey. The train ride is straightforward, but they have luggage, so they're curious about the best way to handle that.

Key takeaways:
  • The train from Vevey to Le Châtelard is free with no tickets needed.
  • You can purchase tickets for the trip up to the lake upon arrival, but check availability at the station.
  • It's advisable to bring only a small backpack, as the funicular has limited space for luggage.
  • There are lockers available at the Martigny station for storing your belongings.

    Hi Liloander and welcome to MySwissAlps,

    The train from Vevey to Le Châtelard is free, so no tickets needed. There is no discount on the trip up to the lake. You can buy those tickets on the spot, I don’t think they are available in Vevey, but you can check that at the station. You’ll find the Swiss Travel Pass validity map here: http://www.myswissalps.com/sw isstravelpass/validity.

    I would not take luggage up to the lake, other than a small day backback or so. It is a wonderful trip, but 3 changes along the way and the last funicular does not have much space for luggage as I recall it.
