I want to visit these communities because my ancestors might have graves there. Are they clearly defined communities and does public transportation go to each of them. How far are they from the larger cities of Zurich and Bern? Would cemeteries and anything else be open on a Sunday trip there? Thanks for answering these unusual questions.

Hello Rita,

Both of these places can be visited by public transportation, as can nearly every remote valley in the country.

You will find all the connections in the advanced timetable in the following link. Make sure you read how it works to fully profit from it.

From Bern to have a direct train to Lutzelflueh and to get to Stallikon from Zurich you will need to take a train plus a bus. Cemeteries are normally open at regular times, meaning from 7 am till around 7 pm, approx.

Best,
Steph
