Mountain tickets and travel passes
Most Swiss rail passes and regional passes provide free or discounted mountain rides. If you don’t have a rail pass, or if you have one that doesn’t fully cover your mountain trip, you’ll need a separate (discounted) ticket.
A lot of mountain tops can be reached by cable car in winter as well, but not all. The ones that are accessible in winter are the place to be for snow fun and for panoramic views of the wintry Swiss Alps.
Many mountain tops have a mountain restaurant to enjoy a drink, lunch, or dinner. And on some of the Swiss peaks you can even spend the night. This allows you to watch sunset and sunrise in the Alps! Below are the mountain hotels we recommend for a unique alpine experience.
