Hi,

Swiss pass has only 15 days but I will stay in Swiss for 16 days, what should I buy ?

Arrive at Zurich in the morning by plane and go straight to Luzern ,

Staying at Luzern for 4 nights (explore the town , Rigi, Titlis, boat trip and lake )

Then stay at Wengen for 4 nights ( First, Bachalpsee, Jungfraujoch, Lauterbrunnen, Murren, Mannilichen, Klein Scheidegg, Grindelward )

Then stay at Zermatt for 3 nights ( Gornergrat, Matterhorn, Sunnegga, Blauherd, Riffelsee )

Then go Montreux for 2 nights ( Chateau de Chillon, Vinyard, Rivaz, St. Saphorin, Vevery )

Finally, go Bern for the last 2 nights ( explore the town )

last day , Bern to Zurich early in the morning for taking flight at 11:45am

Would you please suggest me for the Pass or how should I do with the 15 days pass ?

Thanks so much.

Doris

Hi Doris,

I’d buy the 15 day Swiss Travel Pass to use on days 2-16 and for your first day just buy a ticket from Zurich to Lucerne (assuming those are your only travel plans that day). Tickets are around 20chf.

If you plan on going to a mountain or lake trip on day 1 it may then be cheaper to use your STP for day 1 to 15 and then buy a regular ticket from Bern to Zurich airport on day 16.

Hello Hoho66,

The Saver Day Pass is also often a valid option to “extend” the Swiss Travel Pass, depending on your plans and needs for that day.

Zurich – Luzern is your shortest rail ‘hop’ so will be the cheapest route on which to buy a point to point ticket, so I would do that if I were you.

Yes it is but you arrive in the morning. What are you going to do that day? Mountain excursions? If so, and it is a beautiful day it would be disappointing to miss it.

Your last day of travel would only only be by standard trains so although a tiny bit more $$ may be worthwhile paying point to point.

Do look into the saver day pass, as Steph suggested.
