Hi Sukunag, welcome to MySwissAlps!
In your case you need the free Swiss Family Card. The Junior travelcard is something different and not free:
The Swiss Family Card offers free traveling for your children wherever the Swiss Travel Pass offers free or discounted traveling for the adults: http://www.myswissalps.com/sw isstravelpass/validity. This includes Mount Titlis too.

Hi Arno,
Thanks for your response. I do understand that Junior Travelcard is something different and the cost is CHF30/child. We will be staying in Lucerne. For Mt. Titlis I do know that train from Lucerne to Engelberg is covered by Swiss Travel Pass. Then the cable car from Engleberg to top of the Mountain is discounted 50% for Swiss Travel pass holder. What I wanted to know whether kids will be free with Family card to go to the top of the Mountain in cable car OR do we have to pay for them? As it is free for kids having Junior Travelcard and that’s why I wanted to know whether free Family card benefits are same as Junior Travelcard or not. Should I be better off buy Junior Travelcard for both of my kids to go to Titlis? I think that way I might save CHF32. What do you suggest?
Thanks.

Hi Sukunag,
Cable car websites sometimes are not very clear or complete when describing the discounts they offer. But my previous answer applies: it is free with the Swiss Family Card.

Thanks Arno. I have also contacted Titlis customer service regarding this and they have also responded that kids (6-15) are free with Swiss Family Card (below is their response)
With the Swiss Travel Pass you get 50 % discount on the return ticket. Instead of CHF 92.00 you pay CHF 46.00. Kids (6-15 years) with Swiss Family Card travel for free (return ticket).

Thanks for letting us know Sukunag. It will indeed be no problem to use the Swiss Family Card there.
Enjoy the trip!
