Hye Connie. ….did u ask ur hotel? They do provide for FREE if u stay with them with a minimum of 2 night. I will be there too this month.
Hi Connie, and welcome to MySwissAlps!
The Winter Tell-Pass is valid 1 November 2016 – 31 March 2017
The Summer Tell-Pass is valid 1 April 2017 – 31 October 2017
So if you will be there in May, the Summer Tell-Pass will be the appropriate one to get.

So you are going to be in Switzerland for 12 or 13 days?
In that case, I would not get a Tell-Pass. I would probably get a 15 day Swiss Travel Pass instead, but Arno and Annika are the experts on passes, so I would wait until you hear from them before buying anything.
It would be a good idea to give us some more details of your itinerary as well, with specific dates, your points of arrival in and departure from Switzerland, the order of towns you are staying in, and what activities you plan to do in each place.
The more detail you provide, the more appropriate the suggestions and advice you will receive 🙂 We can also make sure you are aware of what mountain transport will be operating or closed down while you are there, as May is a time when mountain transport tends to be closed for maintenance.

Hi Conniecat
It would make more sense to visit Arosa from Chur. Trains leave Chur for Arosa every hour and journey time is about an hour and is very scenic. The tourist office in Arosa is excellent by the way. We have visited Arosa twice and both times took the cable car up to Weisshorn which has incredible 360 degree views and a super restaurant. Next time we go we intend to take the woodland walk known as the “squirrel walk”!

Hi conniecat!
I agree with Alpenrose that a 15 day Swiss Travel Pass is a lot more appropriate, as you’ll be traveling across the country. Please find all validity information and purchase options at myswissalps.com/swisst ravelpass.
As Maggie notes Arosa can best be visited from Chur. You’d best use the timetable to plan your trips and find traveling times. Mind to spell names correctly, otherwise the timetable may not recognize them (e.g. Schilthorn, Lauterbrunnen, Gornergrat).
Many thanks Maggie we will do this on your advice
Connie
I just realised I said Arosa I meant Ascona which I can do on the way home to Italy. But will def go to Arosa when we get to chur
