Travel assistance

Accessible travelling - that is our concern,
to make travelling with us as easy as possible for all our guests.

Passengers with a disability are authorised to take an accompanying person and/or a guide dog with them free of charge. The traveller with a disability or the accompanying person must be in possession of a ticket and be able to show the appropriate identification.

The Zugerberg Railway has a compartment specially equipped for wheelchairs and people with walking difficulties. There are no steps to access the Zugerberg.

There are several tarmac roads and paths on the Zugerberg, so you can easily get around with a pushchair or wheelchair. However, many of the hiking tours described lead past turnstiles or along natural roads.

Our drivers will be happy to provide you with the necessary information. The Zugerberg Railway is also equipped with automatic announcements.

The valley and mountain stations of the Zugerberg cable car are equipped with a screen that provides information about the next descent and other details.

The Zugerberg Railway has a compartment specially equipped for families with pushchairs.
