Can anyone recommend a web site showing prices for funicular railways
in Switzerland.
I am specifically interested in Lucerne area.

Thanks

Have you tried the SBB/CFF website www .sbb.ch ? It seems that if you
enter the correct start and/or end point, their itinerary will include
the funicular timetable, even though it's a private company and not a
SBB owned railway. It shows "FUN" as train number. You can then click on
the fare/ticket button. I tried with a funicular I know, "Vevey
Plan"-"Mont Pelerin", and it gave me the correct information.

www .sbb.ch is best to start with

In addition probably worth playing through some websites such as
http :// www .rigi.ch/en/welcome.cfm
http :// www .pilatus.ch/default-n7-sE.html
http :// www .stanserhorn.ch/m171 m06/cms/EnHome.asp
http :// www .titlis.ch/index.php?id4&lang=en

As most of those privately owned railway or cable-car companies
tend to sell tickets at relatively high prices, check for passes at
