Will the Swiss Travel Pass cover my journey from Lucerne to Zermatt round trip?
Yes
To clarify re the Swiss Travel Pass (STP)
Please carefully study the map which shows all the information you need.

The validity of the Swiss Travel Pass is essentially quite simple, based on the geography of the Swiss transport network;
The STP gives unlimited ‘ride at will’ travel on all transport modes on the main national network i.e. all routes at lower altitude.
The basic ‘legal’ background to the STP is that it gives free travel to all ‘low altitude’ places and any mountain places in Switzerland which are legally ‘municipalities’ ie ‘real’ towns or villages, rather than just ‘mountain outposts’
This is the reason why the STP gives ‘free’ travel as far as Grindelwald, Wengen and Murren but not higher up (eg Kleine Scheidegg). So, as has been the case for many years, if you hold a valid STP both approach routes to the Jungfrau – to Wengen and Grindelwald – are free but you have to buy a ticket for Wengen – Kleine Scheidegg, Grindelwald – Kleine Scheidegg, Grindelwald – Eigergletscher, KS – Jungfraujoch
For the same reason the STP is free as far up as Zermatt (but not ‘above the village eg Gornergrat), and Engelberg (but not higher up eg Titlis)
Thanks so much, 1960 !
