Which mountains are free with SwissPass?

If you are wondering which mountain excursions are 100% included in the Swiss Travel Pass, the answer is: Stanserhorn, Rigi, Stoos, Brunni and Klewenalp. To obtain tickets for any cable car, funicular or cog railway, you should present your Swiss Travel Pass at the ticket office.



As of 2026, the Swiss Travel Pass offers 100% free excursions to three major peaks: Mount Rigi, Mount Stanserhorn, and Stoos. While many other famous mountains like Mount Pilatus or the Titlis offer a 50% discount, the "Big Three" are fully covered. Mount Rigi is famous for its cogwheel train from Vitznau (the oldest in Europe), while Stanserhorn features the world’s first "CabriO" open-top cable car. The Stoos excursion includes the world’s steepest funicular railway. Additionally, the pass covers 100% of the travel on the Jungfrau Region valley trains (to Lauterbrunnen and Grindelwald) and the cable car to Mürren. For the high-altitude "glacier" peaks like Jungfraujoch or the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise, the Swiss Travel Pass typically provides a 25% to 50% discount rather than free entry, as these are considered private mountain railways.
