    I was looking at the Swiss travel pass but it does not say anywhere that it covers the cable cars around Lauterbrunnen Murren, Wenger etc. Are the cable cars included? I know the Bernese Oberland pass does but as we are travelling in other areas before and after it would have made sense to get a 15 day Swiss Pass. What do you think? Thanks Sue

    Most cable cars are discount – not free – with a STP. The major exception to this general rule is the Lauterbrunnen – Grütschalp cable car as it is an integral section of the ‘national network’ so works slightly differently to other purely tourist cable cars

    Hello Sue,

    Look at the map at http://www.myswissalps.com/sw isstravelpass/validity. Stechelberg to Gimmelwald to Mürren to Schilthorn is free with STP.
