Thanks for posting your question here, Scalth!

An 8 day Swiss Travel Pass would be a convenient option. It allows free traveling on all regular train routes. The Rigi is for free as well. And if you plan to make a trip over Lake Thun, Lake Brienz or Lake Lucerne (definitely recommended), that’s included too. You will have to buy a regular ticket Lucerne-Zurich as the pass won’t be valid on day 9, but that’s a rather short and inexpensive ride. You can also travel to Zurich on day 8, to have the journey covered, and spend a day in Zurich before heading to the airport. Hotels in Zurich are listed here; hotels near Zurich Airport can be found here.

Whether it’s the cheapest option depends on the final details of your itinerary. A Swiss Half Fare Card could be cheaper. You could calculate whether that’s the case using this guide.

It’s no problem to carry a case each in either international or national trains. Most coaches provide enough space for luggage and there’s no need to book this.

Thank you Annika for the quick response. What is the cheapest option to buy the swiss travel pass? Online or after we land at the Zurich Airport? And if online, then which website would offer the lowest fare?

thanks
