Can the Mount Pilatus excursion tickets (Alpnachstad-Pilatus Kulm-Kriens riding the cogwheel train, cable car, and gondola) that are discounted with your Swiss Railpass/Eurail Pass be purchased in Switzerland or only in the United States?

I purchased mine at the tourist information office in the Lucerne train station - and yes, you get the pass holder discount.

The adult fare for the Mt. Pilatus Excursion is 64 CHF (approx. $59)
The fare with a Swiss Pass/Flexi Pass is 32 CHF (approx. $30)
The fare with a Eurail Pass is 44.80 CHF (approx. $41)
Rail Europe also offers discounted vouchers for
the excursion.
There is also a Golden Round Trip and a Silver Round Trip that transports from Luzern via boat or train.
