Excursion destinations

Excursion destinations are always the destinations for a little trip. But there are also mountain railroads, panoramic trains and shipping. They get you to your destination, but are an experience in themselves. First and foremost, Switzerland offers a beautiful landscape with 8,800 mountain peaks and more than 1,500 lakes and rivers. The 329 three-thousand-meter peaks and 48 four-thousand-meter peaks alone attract visitors. You can visit a total of 65 accessible caves in Switzerland. In addition, there are about 1,100 museums, which you can find not only in the larger towns.

On the entire network of the Swiss Travel Systems you travel with the Swiss Travel Pass or the Swiss Travel Pass Flex for an agreed number of days. Included are

• Museum Pass
• 50% discount on most mountain railways
• It is also valid with many municipal transport companies

The same discounts apply to General Abonnements (GA).

Sixty percent of the excursion destinations in Switzerland are in the Alps, the Central Plateau takes up about thirty percent and the remaining ten percent are in the Jura. The excursion destinations are very diverse and it is not uncommon that you can pack several into one excursion.
