    Hi – I plan to be in Zermatt on 18/4/24 and 19/4/24. I also plan to buy the Peak2Peak day pass to visit both Gronergrat & Klein Matterhorn – for costs savings. I understand that the availability of this pass is dependent on whether the Riffelberg-Furi express is operational or not.

    Can you pls advise whether the Riffelberg-Furi express is operational on 18/4 -19/4/24 ?

    Thanks & Regards,

    Benny Cheah

    Hi Benny,

    In addition to Alpenrose’s reply, further information on the Peak2Peak pass can be found in our travel section to Zermatt.  Here’s the link:

    Scroll to “All about the Peak2Peak ticket”.  (If you have a Swiss Travel Pass ( https://www.myswissalps.com/travel-ticket/swiss-travel-pass/)  or Swiss Half Fare Card ( https://www.myswissalps.com/travel-ticket/swiss-half-fare-card/), your Peak2Peak ticket is discounted).  Don’t buy the Peak2Peak ticket too in advance, best to check the weather forecast nearer the time, just to ensure it’s going to be favourable.

    Kind regards,

    Yolanda
