Hi Anna
thank you for the quick feedback.
however, I noticed that the validity map does not show if the transportation mean is on bus or train or cable car or boat .i.e. All route line with the same color.
can you clarify this.
best regards

Hi Bashnaini,
That’s right. This map just shows you where the Tell Pass is valid. It doesn’t differentiate the mode of transportation as the Tell Pass provides free travel on trains, cable cars, funiculars, buses and boats within the validity area. You can use the SBB timetable to look up transport schedules and search for the best connections: http://www.myswissalps.com/timetable
Hope this clarifies.

Hi Anna

Tell Pass is like all regional and local ‘ride at will’ passes as follows:
1) the validity area covers all types of transport (in Switzerland the network of transport is comprehensive and it is not considered important what type of vehicle it is as long as it gets you to destination). This is why the Tell Pass validity map doesn’t differentiate between transport modes.
2) Bonus partners or bonus offers are ‘extras’ offered by companies or resorts in the area of the Pass – for example discounts on swimming pool entry if you hold the pass
Hi gentlemen
how can one get list of partners who give such Bonus for
tell pass holders.
best regards.

Everything you need is on the Tell Pass web site, but I forgot to put the direct bonus partner link in just now in my previous post
Hello bashnaini,
If you download the Tell-Pass validity map via link that Anna provided earlier. You will also see all the Tell-Pass bonus partners listed on pages 2 and 3.
Best wishes,

Hello, Waloo. The funicular ride up to Stoos is covered by several passes, including the Tell Pass & the Swiss Travel Pass, but if you want to continue to go up chairlift to the Fronalpstock there is no discount. The past two years the cost for round trip has been 27.50chf. You can also hike up or down, including a walk that’s halfway up the mountain where there is a changeover on the chairlift. I’ve walked down to Stoos from that point. It’s an easy, pretty hike complete with cows in the summertime. There is some scree, so trekking poles are a help. I’m assuming the same applies for the Klingenstock. There’s a gorgeous ridge hike between the two peaks, suitable for older children. This 70 year old body did part of it, but did turn around as some sections were too steep for me.
