Most staff speak English and are scrupulously helpful, but opening hours in smaller towns allow for a long lunch and can be limited at weekends and in the off-season. All of them have lists of local accommodation and transport information, and provide local and regional maps . The Federal Office of Topography ( www.swisstopo.ch ) has excellent 1:50,000 and 1:25,000 walkers' maps.
