Hello,
is this itinerary doable? and I found purchasing saver day passes costs 62 CHF for each day is cheaper than Swiss pass. Is that ok?
Day 1 arrive to Geneva- train to Bern –
Day 2 Bern- Interlaken- Grindelwald – Kulm
Day 3 Bern to Luzern by train – Titlis( organized tour)
Day4 Bern to Montreaux by train- vivey

Using a Saver Day Pass is certainly practical. Please take note however that the Saver Day Pass is not valid on mountain transportation such as the cable car to Grindelwald First and the funicular to Harder Kulm You would have to pay the full fare. Information about the Saver Day Pass is available here: https://www.myswissalps.com/travel-ticket/saver-day-pass/
Thank you Anna,
I understand that the saver pass is not valid for cables – but is it valid for trains from Interlaken- ost to Grindelwald and Lauterbrunen train stations?
Hi Muns,
Yes, you have understood correctly.
I recommend you take a look at the Saver Day Pass coverage map in the link that Anna provided. Essentially all the solid lines you see, you can travel with your Saver Day Pass. The dotted/broken lines, you would need to purchase a ticket.
Kind regards,
Yolanda
