    We purchased the Swiss Travel Pass. We read that the trip to Mount Rigi is free to Swiss Travel Pass holders. Here are our questions:

    1. Should we book the trip in advance or wait til the day before to check on weather?

    2. If we should book in advance what is the web site to use?

    3. Can you suggest a 4-6 hour itinerary?
