    Hi amitbansal0810,

    I’m not sure how long you’ll be in Switzerland and if the trips you mentioned would be all you’ve planned. Regular tickets are indeed not cheap. Since you’re traveling in April, I would advice to look into these discounted passes. You only pay half the normal price so that would almost certainly save you a lot of money. This FAQ helps to do the math. For affordable hotels, you may want to check this page.

    Hello amitbansal0810. Yes, the Swiss Saver Pass will cover traveling from the airport to your hotel as well (as urban transportation in larger towns is included). The validity network map we link to from the Swiss Pass page provides all details.
