Commencing from most stations within Switzerland, visitors may travel to and from the individual ski resorts.

Bookings/Information
Information about the individual offers available may be obtained from most Swiss stations or by phone from the Rail Service on 0900 300 300 (CHF 1.19/Min. from the Swiss fixed-line network).
