Wi-fi

how available is wi-fi in the towns and villages over the Alpine route?

Hi mbowmandement,

I'm not sure if you're refering to a particular area, but in general there are quite some public hotspots available. More information is available through Swisscom. There are hotels with wifi/(W)LAN access as well, either included in the room price or for a fee. You can find them by clicking the first link on the hotel page and select (W)LAN on left side of the page that opens.

This topic about cell phones might be of interest to you as well.

The larger hotels in the larger towns, yes. Small hotels in large towns, not so much but in a large town you can find hotspots. Small hotels/inns in small villages, no but sometimes there is a local hotspot at a bar or something, sometimes not. Inns on the passes (Grosse Scheidegg, Klausenpass, Hahenmoos, etc, no.
