I am visiting with my wife and 3 year old baby.My plan is as below Sept 7- Reaching Zurich and travelling to Luzern. Sept 8- Travel to Mt Titlis/Mt Pilathus Sept 9- from Interlaken - Travel to Jungfrau Sept 10- From interlaken-- Go to zermat and cath the Glacier Express..Get down at Chur and travel back to Zurich.. Can you please let me know what kind of pass(Swiss Flexi for 3 days or Half fare card) will be suitable for me? Thanks in advance

The free travel days would be used for Zurich airport - Luzern, Luzern - Interlaken and the long trip on Sept 10. You can calculate exactly if you want, following these instructions. Perhaps you can fit in a boat trip on Lake Lucerne or Lake Brienz. It's free on a free travel day. Purchase options, prices and delivery dates of the Swiss Saver Flexi Pass are listed here. May be this offer is of interest, depending on where you're from. These airport hotels in Zurich might come in handy, especially if you have an early flight on September 11. Have a beautiful stay! edited by modarno on Aug 25, 2011 -- Arno Moderator MySwissAlps.com We're on Facebook now! facebook.com/myswissalps

Please fill out your country and travelers on the Swiss Flexi Pass page to see prices that are relevant to you specifically. You'll then see if the offer is of interest to you at all. If you don't live in Europe, you'll see other resellers with even better prices. Buying in Switzerland is usually the most expensive option, as you can see on that page. All delivery options are on that page as well. Printing passes yourself is not possible. 2. Depending on the reseller, they ask either the start date (first free travel day) or no date at all. The other dates can be filled out on the pass when you need them. You don't have to decide in advance. 3. You'll get 50% off. The Jungfrau is 25% off. Please take a look at the map linked from the Swiss Flexi Pass page. 4. I would advice to book seats well in advance. You can get them a few days before through the ticket office, but you'll have to wait and see which (if any) seats are left. 5. Yes, but it would be a long day. The timetable provides details. 6. Please check the timetable for that as well. I hope this helps you out! -- Arno Moderator MySwissAlps.com We're on Facebook now! facebook.com/myswissalps
