Passes to get : Swiss Pass + Jungfrau Pass ?
-
Please advice me on the cost effective passes to get. 4 of us will be in Switzerland end-July to mid-Aug 2010 ~ 12 days. The outline are :
Day 1 : Lucerne (Mt Pilatus)
Day 2 : Lucerne (City)
Day 3 : Lucerne -> Lugano (William Tell route, but regular service boat/train, omitting reservations ).
We intend to visit Swiss Miniatur Park at Lugano
Day 4 : Lugano(by bus) -> Tirano (by Benina Express) -> St Moritz (Heidi’s Wild flower …)
Day 5 : St Moritz(Glacier Express) -> Zermatt
Day 6 : Zermatt ( Gornergrat Train )
Day 7 : Zermatt -> Andermatt
Day 8 : Andermatt (Romantic Route Express) -> Grindelwald
Day 9 : Grindelwald (First) -> Interlaken Ost ( Lake Cruise)
Day 10: Interlaken OST (Piz Gloria-Schilthorn, Launterbrunnen)
Day 11: Interlaken OST (Jungfraujoch)
Day 10: Interlaken OST -> via Zurich -> Paris
Day 11: Paris
Day 12: Paris -> ZurichWe(2 senior citizens, 2 adults) plan to go for 8Day Swiss (saver) pass – ~chf 319. This will cover us for Day1 to Day 8. Thereafter we have to get another pass
From Day8 onwards, we will be in Berner Oberland region. We intend to go for another Jungfrau Pass – chf 200 (adults). From Jungfraubahnen website http://www.jungfrau.ch/en/desktopdefault.aspx/tabid-20/172_read-696 (offer from 1May – 31Oct 2010). It allows 6d consecutive unlimited free travel in many areas of inclusive are Schilthorn, First, Kleine Schediegg, Manlichen Gondola. EXCEPT need to pay for the part between Eigergletscher <->Jungfraujoch ( there is no explicit indication of the price).
I roughly est even with a Swiss Pass discount, one will need to pay additional chf 100+ for Jungfraujoch return tickets. Plus another chf 40 range for Schithorn. Plus alpine tickets for Romantic Route Express, G/First tarrifs. All easily amount up to chf 200 which justify for a Jungfrau Pass (as indicated).
Now I am not sure if my sums work out to be cost effective and serve their purpose ? Any opinions, inputs, counter suggestion ?
I have yet to work out the train trip from Interlaken OST -> Zurich -> Paris. Noon TGV to Paris is most economical (so far I reserached). Please advice the est price or solution. In Paris, my rough cue is the get “tickets of 10”.
Any input will be appreciated. Have a nice day.
