MySwissAlps.com includes Can I extend a Berner Oberland Pass that’s already in use?
-
Hello all,
I am staying 5 days in Lauterbrunnen. I’d like to buy a 3 days BO Pass and extend it 2 days extra since there’s no 5 day BO Pass available to buy directly.
Someone on this forum said that I can not extend the BO Pass if it’s already in use. See link here: https://www.myswissalps.com/community/thread/extending-berner-oberland-pass-from-4-to-6-days/#post-955401
This worries me since I’ll arrive in Switzerland on the day my BO Pass starts and I can only extend it there at a counter.
Is this statement true? For example, can I not extend my BO Pass on the last day of its validity?
Would really appreciate it if someone can clear this up for me.

Hi Johnny Gui,
Welcome to MySwissAlps.
Yes, you can extend the Berner Oberland Pass (https://www.myswissalps.com/travel-ticket/berner-oberland-pass/) but you will have to go directly to the ticket counter. I recommend going to the SBB Travel Center at Zurich Airport or Zurich main station as soon as you arrive. Or you can also request for the extension at the railway station in Interlaken.

Anna
Thank you for the info. So I take it the statement in the link I gave is not true?
Hi Johnny,
I think there should be no problem if the request for the extension is done at a major railway station like Interlaken.

Anna
Hi Johnny_Gui,
No worries! You can extend your pass while you’re using it. The forum discussion you mentioned took place a couple of years ago. The current Berner Oberland Pass extension rules do not rule out passes that are in use. You can check the details through https://www.berneseoberlandpass.ch/faq/
Thank you this has reassured me guys. Really looking forward to the trip.
