    Hi all – first posting, but have been using your forum for months of planning…a fantastic resource, thank you!

    My question…I am travelling from Zermatt to Riederalp in mid-June and I have already purchased a Supersaver ticket to ‘Riederalp Mitte’, so including the cable car leg from Mōrel to Riederalp Mitte. I’m clear that I must travel on specified trains as a condition of the ticket, but I’m less clear if same applies to mountain transport legs, i.e. can I only travel on the one cable car time shown on my SBB e-ticket?

    Ideally, I would like to leave bags and wander around Mōrel for an hour or two before going up to Riederalp, as a bit too early to get into our apartment if we go straight up (and nowhere to leave luggage in Riederalp – unless anyone knows differently?). Is there is more flexibility on the cable car route?

    Not the end of the world if not, as it is only a cheap trip up to Riederalp…just curious.

    Many thanks!

    M

    Hi M,

    The supersaver ticket is only valid for the selected date of travel and the selected transport connection. I think this applies to the cable car as well but I don’t think it’s strictly enforced. Sometimes if there is a long queue you might still have to wait. It’s best to ask at the counter if you can take a later connection to Riederalp Mitte.

    You can find details about the Supersaver tickets here: http://www.myswissalps.com/traintickets/switzerland

    As far as I know a supersaver ticket only has relevance on main line trains. Cable cars typically operate too frequently for a restriction on when you can go to be workable.
