Hi,

Im new here and will be flying into Zurich on June 3rd for 10 nights. First 7 nights in Wengen and last 3 in Luzern. We are a family of 4 with 2 kids aged 7 & 5.

The Berner Oberland pass is 958 Euro for the 3 of us (youngest is free). This seems rather expensive. Is it the best option considering we are planning on visiting most of the small towns near Wengen and going to Schilthorn along with  some cable car trips?

Any advice is most welcome.

Thanks, Dave.

Hi Dave,

Very welcome to MySwissAlps.

Thanks for sharing your plans.

It could be that the Berner Oberland Pass is the best option for you and your family.  The best thing to do, to be sure is to carry out some maths based on your daily travel plans.  We have a guide to assist you with this.  Please take a look here:

Yes, that’s right, your 5 year old would travel for free with you and your 7 year old would need to buy the flat rate CHF30 Berner Oberland Pass.  All about the Berner Oberland Pass is explained in our handy guide below:

Mountain transportation is not cheap and it’s definitely worth investing in a rail pass if you are anticipating a lot of travel on the rail, cable cars and gondolas.

I hope this gets you started, do reach out if you have additional questions.

Kind regards,

Yolanda
