discounts for cable cars in Switzerland
 
Two people spending 8 days in the area of Grindewald and Matterhorn. Is there any recommended way to get discounts on the prices of the cable cars?
Any suggestions appreciated!
Thank you in advance!

A Swiss Pass or a Swiss Card will give you a 50% discount on most high mountain lifts. See here: http://tinyurl.com/3lghr49.

Hi naomishema,

A Half Fare Card (costs 110 chf for one month) will also give you 50% off all cable cars and trains.

For Matterhorn, there are mountain ride specific passes if you plan to use rides a lot: http://www.matterhornparadise.ch/en/..._pistes/prices
Peak pass, Panoramic pass, and Hiking passes are probably of interest.

For Berner Oberland, if you travel frequently and widely in the region, there is also a regional pass: http://www.regiopass-berneroberland.ch/price-2012/

I believe a pass will get you a 25% discount on the rack railway up to the Gornergratt, also
