Best of Germany Austria Switzerland tour in June. Will be staying in Mürren and tour has us going up to Schilthorn and also to trummelbach falls over a few days.
Question is does Rick Steve tour pay for the gondola trips and if so are they limited or do they give you some sort of pass?
Thanks!

We got a special RS pass to use. We didn't go to the Schilthorn as a group, but the pass allowed us to get from the floor of the valley up to Gimelwald and Murren.

Yes, the tram ride going up to Schilthorn was included on our tour and we went up as a group. And we also did the Falls as a group, also included. I’m not sure what you mean by limited. On our free day, we and a few others including our guide hiked the trail from Mannlichen to Kleine Scheidegg but we all paid for our tram and train tickets. Some things change each year so I would check with the RS tour office, they’re the best resource for those type of questions.
