Hi,

I’m staying in Lucerne on the 6th and 7th of July. I’ve heard about Züri Fäscht, so I was planning to catch a train on Saturday evening and go to Zürich to watch the fireworks. However, I just have a Tell Pass that covers the route up to Zug. I understand that a need a ZVV ticket from Zug to Zürich, but is that ZVV ticket valid on the ICs and IRs trains, such as IR70? And for the return journey to Lucerne at night do I need a night supplement for the train?

By the way, what are the most relevant things to do at Züri Fäscht?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Miguel Sousa,

Nice to hear you’re heading to Zurich for a party next weekend.

There are special tickets you can purchase online including or without the extra night fare, see below link for details.

The website itself is only in German, funny enough, but the fireworks are for sure a highlight at the Züri Fäscht and having fun is the main aim. The area around the lake basin is of course most popular. You won’t be bored, I promise!

Ok, ok, thank you very much… from what I understand, the night supplement is just needed for journeys from 1 a.m. but I’m planning to return to Lucerne earlier, at about 23h30, so it won’t be needed, right?

I just have one more question: I’m travelling with children who are not my sons so I’ll buy the Children’s Co Travelcard. Can I use it with one of those special tickets?

Hi Miguel,

Correct, if you return before 1 pm there is NO need for a night supplement.

I don’t see why the Children’s Co Travelcard should not be valid with this special ticket. To be entirely sure, however, I recommend you ask at a railway station before purchasing.

Best,
Steph
