Swiss Activities Tip
If you are traveling from Lucerne to St. Gallen, the right-hand side in the direction of travel is ideal for getting a particularly good view of Lake Lucerne and the Rigi. The Säntis and the other peaks in the Alpstein massif are also on the right-hand side.
On the road with a wheelchair
- SOB trains increasingly have low-floor entrances (marked NF in the timetable).
- SOB offers assistance for people with reduced mobility in cooperation with SBB. The SBB Callcenter Handicap organizes assistance when changing trains where platforms have not yet been raised and floors have not yet been adjusted. It helps you to prepare for barrier-free travel or if you need help on the way.
Out and about with the dog
- Small dogs up to 30 cm are free of charge if they remain in a transport container for the entire journey. This must be pushed under your seat.
- Dogs without a container and all dogs over 30 cm shoulder height require a valid dog ticket: half the price of 2nd class or the minimum fare (Dog Day Pass, Dog Pass). They must sit under the seat so that the passageway is not blocked for other passengers.
