6 days in Lucerne, Wengen, then Florence – best rail pass?
-
Thank you for this forum.
My wife and I will be visiting Switzerland soon. I was lucky enough to spend considerable time in Lucerne when I was in high school, and I would like to see it again, so we will be starting there, flying into Zurich from Athens.
We will have 6 full days in Switzerland, as well as two partial days flying in and out. We will be moving to Wengen halfway through our stay. We will leave Wengen for Florence. I’m not completely sure which airport is best.
We are trying to figure out whether we need some kind of travel pass. I see a lot of seemingly-contradictory information on the web.
In Lucerne, we plan to cruise the lake, and we will visit Pilatus, Rigi, and maybe Titlis. From Wengen, we plan to move around the area, visiting Lauterbrunnen and Interlaken. We would like to take a ride on Lake Brienz. We expect to rely on public transportation most of the time.
I looked at the Berner Oberland pass. This would run us 790 CHF for two. Does this sound like the best option for a trip like ours? Some of the discounts don’t look great, and the pass is expensive, but maybe it’s worth it in the end.
Sorry if this is a question that has been answered over and over. The sources I’ve looked at on the Internet are confusing.
