Switzerland Mountaintops with a Pass

Swiss Peak Pass Offer from Rail Europe

Swiss Mountain Peak Bernese OberlandYou’re off to scenic Switzerland for the chocolate and fondue, the charming chalets and the amazing scenery, taking the Glacier Express or the Golden pass Line. You’re planning on getting a Swiss Pass to ride the rails for a scenic journey on one of the branded train trips on the extraordinary on-time transportation rail system, but you absolutely must visit some Swiss Alps mountain tops? Here’s an offer from Rail Europe that gets access to some stunning vistas without breaking the wallet.

The Swiss Peak Pass  4 Day – 8 Day

This is a companion pass to the 4 day or 8 day consecutive Swiss Pass (not for the Select Pass or other variety). There are 8 mountain peaks included in the pass, located in different regions:  Mt Corvatsch near St Moritz, Mt Rochers-de-Naye near Montreux above Lake Geneva, Mt Stanserhorn with its new open top cabrio convertible cable car above Lucerne, Mt Cardada near Locarno in Italian speaking Ticino, and Mount Brienzer Rothorn near Interlaken above Lake Brienz. (Unfortunately, the more famous cable cars like Klein-Matterhorn, Mt Pilatus, Mt Titlis Rotair, etc. are not included, though still eligible for half-price offers with a rail pass).

What’s the catch. The Swiss Peak Pass must be used in conjunction with a consecutive 4 or 8 day Swiss Pass. But you have unlimited access to the peak cable cars for those days, so especially good if you plan to stay in an area for a few days. Sale dates for this pass offer are through December 12, 2014. With travel from January 1 through December 23, 2014. Prices are around $49 to $69.

The 8 peaks included: Mount Brienzer Rothorn, Mount Cardada, Mount Corvatsch, Mount Niesen, Mount Rochers-de-Naye, Mount Saentis, Mount Stanserhorn, Mount Allain.
