    I am planning to visit Jungfraujoch, Pilatus, Gornergrat, Matterhorn Glacier Paradise, Schillthorn, and Glacier 3000. Is it advisable to book in advance (1-7 days before departure) or I can just buy the tickets on the day of departure? I saw posts online that you can just buy on the day of departure, I just want to make sure that this is still possible in 2022. 😁

    Thanks!!

    Hi Samuelxchang,

    No worries, you can purchase the tickets from the ticket counter on the day you are travelling. If you want to avoid the queues you can also buy the tickets online here: Switzerland Travel Centre

    How would I find the cost of lift tickets purchased at the lift station on the same day of travel? How would I know if the prices shown are full fare for travellers without a Swiss Travel Pass? I am interested in going to Schilthorn and Gornergrat.

    Thank you. I appreciate your help and all the information you provide on this website.
