Do cable cars operate in rain/snow in Switzerland?
A traveler is arriving in Lucerne tomorrow afternoon and will be there until Tuesday with their parents and 4-year-old son. They plan to visit Mount Titlis on Sunday, Mount Pilatus on Monday, and Mount Rigi on Tuesday, but are concerned about rain and snow impacting their plans. They want to know if the cable cars and trains will operate normally during this weather.
- Train and cable car services will typically run in rain or snow, but check the specific mountain websites for daily updates.
- You can buy the Tell Pass at the Lucerne train station or online; for a last-minute purchase, it's better to get it at the station.
- Euros are accepted at SBB train stations but not widely at other businesses in Switzerland.

Hi Abinaya chan and welcome to MySwissAlps!
Yes, the trains and cable cars will be running as normal during rain or snow. Perhaps a major wind storm could stop the cable cars from running.
I’d check the website for each mountain you plan on visiting each morning to see how the weather looks. Due to clouds you may have limited views once at the top.
Use the Swiss railways timetable to plan the trips: http://www.myswissalps.com/ti metable

Yes, you can buy the Tell Pass at Lucerne train station or online here: http://www.myswissalps.com/te llpasswinter/price but for your last minute purchase I’d buy at the station.
Euros will be accepted at the SBB train station but not at many other businesses around Switzerland: http://www.myswissalps.com/sw issfranc
