Hi Junice, and welcome to MySwissAlps,
How to get from any place to any place can be found in the timetable. As for the best pass: please let us know all of the traveling you have planned (where do you come from, where do you go after Zermatt, what other day trips have you planned). Traveler ages and your country of residence helps too. Thanks! Here is how to calculate yourself.

Hi Amo,
We are from Singapore and is our first time to Switzerlnd. We are a group of young adults in our late 20s with two elderly in their fifties. We are planning to go to Matterhorn in Zermatt and Jungfrau from Lauternbrunnen. We are still planning our itinery, do you have any recommendations where else we should visit in Zermatt and interlaken?
I have been doing some research, from Lauternbrunnen we would need to take the train to Jungfrau and then a cable car to the top. I’m abit confuse with all the Swiss pass, there are so many kinds. Which one should we be getting?
Thanks Amo!
Cheers
Junice

Hi Junice,
I assume you come from Zurich airport and go back there as well. Your best option is a Swiss Card for each person. You can purchase it here, and collect it in the People’s Park Centre in Singapore (or have it shipped; expected delivery if ordered today is May 8). Don’t forget to use the promo code as explained here. The Swiss Card includes the trip to Lauterbrunnen for free, and the trip back from Zermatt as well. You’ll get a 50% discount on further trips, including the Jungfrau trip (it’s a cogwheel train, not a cable car) and the lift to the Matterhorn.
Please see the forum and the rest of the site for many suggestion about what to do. I would recommend to do some hiking from Interlaken and Zermatt.

Thanks Amo,
I would be coming from Paris via train and after Zermatt we are heading to Milan via train too. Would Swiss flexi pass be a better alternative for us?
Cheers

Hello Junice. In the scenario you describe now (assuming an inbound trip from Paris via Basel?) a Swiss Card would still be a bit cheaper than a 3 day Swiss Saver Flexi Pass, but there’s not much difference. Both passes would be fine. You can calculate for yourself using the link Arno mentioned in one of his previous answers.
