Does Interlaken Guest Card cover Lauterbrunnen?
A traveler will be in Interlaken for 3 nights and is wondering if the guest card provided by their host will cover train fares to Wengen, Lauterbrunnen, Grindelwald, and Bern. They are seeking advice on whether cheaper bus options are available since the guest card has limited validity for trains.
- The Interlaken guest card provides limited transportation coverage and is not valid for trips beyond Wilderswil.
- Consider purchasing a Saver Day Pass for broader coverage on Swiss public transport, including connections to Lauterbrunnen.
- Keep in mind that the Saver Day Pass does not cover mountain transport like cable cars; plan to buy separate tickets for those excursions.
AI-generated summary-
We will be staying in Interlaken for 3 nights and will get a guest card from the host (http://www.interlaken.ch/en/info-service/gaestekarten/interlaken-guest-card)
Would this cover trains to Wengen, Lauterbrunnen, Grindelwald and Bern ? (I think these are 10, 10, 10 and 30 one way)
If not, are there cheaper buses from Interlaken to these places compared to the train ? Or does everyone take the train to these places ?
-
No.
Guest cards very rarely give much in the way of discounts
The Interlaken guest card gives very limited validity on railways. Certainly it is not valid anywhere near Bern, it is not even valid on lines towards Spiez or Thun. It is only valid on the train as far as Wilderswil.
Okay then our Saver Day Passes should cover these ?
Yes, that is correct.
Last time I holidayed in the area we stayed at a camp site and used the guest card just to ride on the local buses, when we were not using our Berner Oberland Pass
Hi JD65535,
The Saver Day Pass is valid on all Swiss public transport so you can use it for the train travel between Interlaken and Lauterbrunnen. Do take note however that the pass is not valid on mountain transportation such as the cable car to Schilthorn. You will need to buy a standard ticket if you plan to do any mountain excursion. You can find more information about where the Saver Day Pass is valid here: http://www.myswissalps.com/saverdaypass/validity
