Wilderswil 8 days – Bernese Oberland Pass is best?
-
We will be traveling to Switzerland in the first week of October arriving in Zurich from London and flying out of Zurich back to North America. We have arranged accommodation in Wilderswil for a week. In total we will be in Switzerland for 8 days.
We plan to do most of our sightseeing and walking in the Oberland but also looking at going to Montreux or into Bern and Lucerne if the weather is not conducive for being in the mountains.
Looking at the prices of passes it appears to me that when I include our cost of return fare from Zurich to Wilderswil it is more economical for us to buy an 8 day Swiss Travel Pass. It appears to offer the same discounts on cable cars and trains etc. up the mountains with the exception of the Rothorn and Mt. Niesen. If we were to buy a 6 day BO pass and pay either full fare or a transfer pass from Zurich it appears we would spend up to 100 CHF each versus an 8 day travel pass and that this is more than the extra cost if we chose to do both the Rothorn and NIesen (this is not even a given).?
Also, we were in this area more than 35 years ago and did the Jungfraujoch and Schilthorn etc. at that time. Given the changes in the area are there new attractions or less popular areas that we may have missed (please note we are a fairly fit retired couple but not looking for anything overly “adveturous”!)
