I will be using my Swiss Travel Pass to board the boat from Lucern to Vitznau. Once docked at Vitznau will I need to stand in line at the ticket booth or do I just show my STP as I board?

Hi Nstpie,

at http://www.myswissalps.com/swisstravelpass/howtouse you can read about how to use your Swiss Travel Pass.

I haven’t tried at Rigi, but from other mountains I have the experience, that yes, you need to stand in the line to get a free ticket.

I contacted Rigi Tourist Office, as soon as I get answer from them I will let you know.

UPDATE: you can skip the line at Rigi cogwheel train and board! 🙂

The Rigi has long been one of the few mountains railways which are ‘walk on’ with the STP. The Vitznau – Rigi train waits adjacent to the lake side.

The reason Rigi is free is because a lot of the Rigi massif is populated so it counts as ‘normal’ country territory so must be served legally by the Swiss ‘official transport network’

You just show your STP as you board.👍
