Bernese Oberland Region Pass to Zermatt?
A traveler is planning their last day using the Bernese Oberland Pass and wants to travel from Brig to Zermatt. They seek clarification on whether they need to buy a ticket for the train from Brig to Zermatt since the express train from Speiz to Visp may not be covered by their pass. The traveler is looking for the most economical travel solution.
- You can travel to Brig using your Bernese Oberland Pass, but the express train from Speiz to Visp isn't included.
- For a scenic route, consider taking the older train via Kandersteg to Brig, which is covered by the pass.
- Yes, you will need to purchase a separate ticket for the segment from Brig to Zermatt.
AI-generated summary-
On the last day of our Bernese Oberland Pass we will be travelling to Zermatt. The BO Pass map shows we are covered for travel as far as Brig, but not Visp. It looks like the fastest route might be on an express train that uses a tunnel from Speiz to Visp, but that train might not be covered by the BO pass? So for the most economical solution, I presume I need to travel to Brig on my BO pass and then buy a ticket from Brig to Zermatt from there. Is this correct? Thanks.

Hi elbarcosr1,
Yes, via Visp is not included as that’s via the long tunnel (the grey line on the map). The “older” more scenic route via Kandersteg to Brig is included (red line).
