    For instance Zurich, Lucerne, Interlaken, Lauterbrunnen and Jungfrauch area, Zermatt and Montreux etc. I would prefer them to include transportation options, train, cable cars, cogwheel railway etc. Can I buy these at Zurich airport or can I get from SBB?
    Or should I order and get them mailed to me?

    Thanks in advance

    Hi Wig,

    I think you may need to locate these maps separately. As in, respective transportation maps provided by each town and actual geographical maps with the streets and places of interest.

    You maybe able to even download the transportation maps.  Otherwise I would try Orell Füssli as an option to purchase online.

    Kind regards,
    Yolanda
