The Swiss Travel Pass also includes rail journeys on premium panorama trains such as the Bernina Express, Glacier Express, and Gotthard Panorama Express. But you will need to pay a small seat reservation fee to reserve your seat in advance. Many funiculars, gondolas, and cable cars, are included.

For 2026, the Swiss Travel Pass includes unlimited travel on trains, buses, and boats, but its coverage of gondolas and cable cars is selective. Generally, gondolas that serve as "essential transit" between towns (such as the line to Rigi or the Stanserhorn) are 100% included (free). However, most "tourist" mountain excursions—like the gondolas to Mount Pilatus, Titlis, or the Jungfraujoch—are not fully included; instead, the Swiss Pass provides a 50% discount on the ticket price. A few specific peaks, such as Stoos and Klewenalp, are fully covered. It is essential to check the 2026 "Area of Validity" map; solid lines indicate free travel, while dotted lines indicate a 25-50% discount, helping you budget for those spectacular alpine ascents.
