Hi, I am new to this site and I have not yet received any replies to my question. I do see that the moderators are fairly quick in responding to other posts. Perhaps I posted my question in the wrong forum? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again!

Hi MO.NUFF,
Welcome to our website! All questions will be answered within a couple of days, in no particular order. The Rigi area you’re already visiting has ski slopes and is fairly close to Zurich. Another option is Klewenalp, a bit further south. And you can check Stoos as well. There are combined rail/ski passes for both these options, so you wouldn’t need a separate rail pass in your case. For Zurich, you may want to look into the Zurich Card.

Arno,
Cheers! Thanks for the information and I hope I didn’t come across as impatient, just anxious for knowledge to make the most out of my trip. I just discovered this site and so far have gotten a some great tips. Thumbs up!

Arno,
Which of these ski areas would be the most convenient to Zurich? And which would be the least crowded? We are only beginners and want to avoid as much crowd as possible. Is it usually cheaper to ski during the weekday vs. the weekend or does it not matter?
Thank you

Hi MO.NUFF,
Rigi is the closest. The timetable will help to check for traveling times. There are also some options near Zurich, at lower altitudes. If there’s snow, it may be sufficient to go there, but I don’t know the details about those places. Uetliberg is one of them (I think it’s only for sledge riding). It’s very close to Zurich and covered by the Zurich Card.

Arno,
I read something about a supplement fare required for the Zurichcard for after hour rides around the city? Are you familiar with this and help to clarify this?
Thank you

Hi MO.NUFF,
There’s a CHF 5 supplement if you want to use the nighttime network.

Hello Mohsinali5,
May I suggest you start a new topic when there’s a new question, also for other readers in this forum?: “Zürich in a week” does not seem to cover your question.
Will you be spending four whole days in Switzerland and do you already know where you will be arriving and from where you will be leaving? As far as I know the main airports for you would be Geneva and/or Zürich.
I can just advise you on a logical order of your trip, which seems to me: day 1. Geneva – day 2. Bern – day 3. Interlaken (with Jungfraujoch) – day 4. Lucerne (with Mount Titlis) and depart from Zürich, or the other way round of course. But be aware of the fact that traveling between these locations will be time-consuming! Please consult the Swiss Time table to see if what you want is possible,
Enjoy your stay!
