Welcome to MySwissAlps Bhuiyan!

The cableway to Mount Titlis will be closed for maintenance while you are there. As for the pass: either a Swiss Travel Pass or Swiss Half Fare Card will work. Please see the linked pages to decide which one fits your plans best, or do the math for a full price comparison. Both passes can be purchased in Geneva, but can also be printed at home through www.swissrailways.com/ en (pick the E-ticket option when asked for delivery). This will save you time as you don't have to wait for the staffed ticket desk.

HI Dear arno,

When cableway in Mt. Titlis will be opened for visitors?

Bhuiyan

Hi Bhuiyan,

It operates all year round except 7 - 18 November 2016. There are other options too though, like Jungfraujoch, Pilatus, Rigi.

Hi arno,

I have checked the alternative as suggested by you. I will choose Pilatus. Please suggest me train route from Zurich. I want to come back zurich same day.

Please advice.

Hi Arno,

If I go Pitalus, shall i choose Kriens or Alpnachstad? During my visit time(14-17 nov) cable car or cogwhel train will be available?

Please help me.

Regards

Bhuiyan

Hi Bhuiyan,

Both routes should be open then, so you can make the round trip.

Hi Arno,

From your reply it means that I can avail cable way from Kriens to reach Mt. Pilatus, right?

Regards

Bhuiyan

Yes, correct!

HI Arno,

Thanks for the very good suggestion.

One last question:

Will "swiss travel pass" cover following routes:

1. Geneva to Montreux

2. Geneva to Zurich HB

3. Zurich to Lucerne

4. Lucerne to Kriens

Bhuiyan

Hi Bhuiyan,

Yes, those routes are certainly covered. All details can be found on the map.

Hi Arno,

Do you have any mobile app from which I can get instant help while in Switzerland?

Regards

Bhuiyan

Hi Bhuiyan,

MySwissAlps.com works fine on mobile phones too, you don't need an app. Your're welcome to ask during your trip. I can't guarantee instant replies, but we reply to all posts.

Hi Arno,

Since my wife will be travelling with me, will we get any discount from swiss travel pass?

Regards

Bhuiyan

Hi Bhuiyan,

No, there are no further discounts. Such a discount existed a few years ago but nowadays everyone pays the same price.

Hi Arno,

I am a residence of Bangladesh. I tried to buy swiss travel pass. But in the e-ticket option, they asked for " country of residence", which is mandatory to put, but my country is not listed in the drop down menu.

What shall I do?

Need urgent reply.

Regards

Bhuiyan

Hi Bhuiyan,

Sorry, I did not notice you are from Bangladesh. In that case you can order through www.raileurope-world.com/pass/swiss-travel-pass-82. They also offer the print at home passes and you'll receive the pass in 1 to 2 business days.
