Hi,

I am aware that the following routes are free for Mt Rigi with the Swiss Travel Pass:

Train from Arth-Goldau or Vitznau to Mount Rigi: free

Cableway from Weggis to Rigi Kaltbad: free

Train to Arth-Goldau: free

Boat to Vitznau or Weggis: free

Cableway from Kräbel to Rigi Scheidegg: free

What I’m unclear about is whether the reverse (Rigi Scheidegg to Kräbel) is free. I have been looking on the validity map on SBB and it’s unclear. I know in general, the cableway to Rigi Scheidegg is new in the Swiss Travel Pass for 2018/2019. However, it’s unclear if it’s just one way.

I ask as I am planning on doing the following visit to Mt Rigi and trying to determine if the entire trip is fully covered under the STP:

• Boat ride from Lucerne to Vitznau, then cogwheel train from Vitznau to Rigi Klum (peak) = all covered by STP?
• Hike Classic Trail and Panorama Trail (Rigi Kulm to Rigi Kaltbad to Rigi Scheidegg)
• Take a cable car from Rigi-Scheidegg down to Kräbel, which goes to the station at Arth-Goldau = unclear if coverd by STP
• Catch the train back to Lucerne = all coverd by STP?

I believe everything is covered except the cablecar from Rigi Scheidegg to Kräbel ? Could someone clarify?

Rigi-Scheidegg down to Kräbel is free with the Swiss Travel Pass, as are all other forms of transport on Rigi. See attached. If you know it is free going up it is definitely free going down too.

At Kräbel you can get the train down to Arth-Goldhau or hike there. It’s around 3.5 km.

Hello Toodaliu,

Confirming Rockoyster’s information of the Swiss Travel Pass being valid on the named cable car.

The ENTIRE round trip you’re planning, incl. the train back to Lucerne, is covered by your pass.

See below links for details, incl. a full copy of the validity map in the “Where it’s valid” section of the first link:

Best,

Thanks for the clarification folks !! I also appreciate the well-kept/up to date areas on the MySwissAlps website for the Swiss Travel Pass and what is included. Much easier to decipher than zooming into the validity map 🙂
