    Hi,

    Unfortunately, we didn’t stay in the locations you list. We kept the cost down by trying to find self-catering apartments and getting lunch on the go from the coop grocery store. We used vrbo. com and sometimes booking. com to find lodging in Switzerland. You perhaps have discovered what I have, which is tremendous sticker shock. It is hard to give you a recommendation in terms of pricing without knowing family size, time of year, etc. If you put in the dates and your requirements for people and bedrooms, this will be best.

    We stayed in Murren in the summer, and this is on the opposite side for Grindelwald in Lautterbrunnen. I stayed in Basel and visited Luzern. Murren is accessed by cable car and there are vrbo there (Alta and Snowbird houses are just above the train stop). There is a coop grocery store in Lautterbrunnen near the train stain and the base of the funicular to Murren.

    Good luck.

    One option can be hostel. You can hire a private room in hostel. Many of hostels in Switzerland are located next to train station. (example Interlaken). I guess if you are member of youth hostel, you get special price. In hostel, you get access to common kitchen also. Need to check on this.

    I am a big fan of Rick Steves Travel Guide Books. He mentions hostels in major places and his books are very information and does not cost more than USD 15-20: https://www.amazon.com/Rick-Steves/e/B000APF02I
