June trip: which Swiss Travel Pass, guest cards, weather, itinerary
A traveler named miral_chovatia is planning a 10-day trip to Switzerland in June, visiting Zurich, Lucerne, Interlaken, and Zermatt. They are unsure whether to purchase an 8-day or 15-day Swiss Travel Pass and are asking for advice on itinerary planning as they want to enjoy outdoor activities without hiking too much.
- Consider purchasing the 15-day Swiss Travel Pass for more flexibility, as it only costs 40 Francs more than the 8-day option.
- Each guest at participating hotels receives a guest card, which offers free local transport but is limited to a specific area.
- Review recommended itineraries for ideas on how to structure your 10 days and include must-see attractions like the Gornergrat Bahn and Rhine Falls.

Hello,
My first trip to Switzerland was in the month of June and it was awesome! Great month to visit. You will have an amazing time:)
Have you compared the different passes yet (Swiss travel pass, Swiss travel pass flex, half fare card etc.)? You can find this info at the top of the page. Travel>Train>Compare passes
Guest card applies to all registered guests at a hotel.
Give us some more details about your plans and travel companions. How many in your group? What are your interests? This will help with providing suggestions for you.

Dear miral_chovatia,
Welcome to MySwissAlps.
June is indeed a great time to visit especially if you are keen to do some mountain hiking and outdoor activities. Please refer to our best time to visit guide for useful information: https://www.myswissalps.com/planning/practical/best-time-to-visit/
Whether you need a 8-day or 15-day Swiss Travel Pass depends on your itinerary. You can find further info about the Swiss Travel Pass here: https://www.myswissalps.com/travel-ticket/swiss-travel-pass/
Some destinations/ cities offer free visitors cards to overnight guests. These guestcards provide free local transportation but usually it is limited to a small network.

Hi miral_chovatia,
>>> What is Guest card benefits? 1 Guest card can be use by how many people? Also i am planning, Zurich, Lucern, Interlaken and Zermatt for my 10 days
Each overnight guest in Luzern and Interlaken will receive a guest card for their own personal use.
You can find out what the Lucerne Visitor Card and Interlaken Guest Card offer here:
https://www.luzern.com/en/information/useful-information/visitor-card-lucerne
https://www.interlaken.ch/en/info-service/gaestekarten/interlaken-guest-card
Neither Zürich nor Zermatt offer free guest cards.
I hope this helps!

Hello All Again,
Thanks for your reply ! I went to the link given for itineraries…there is lots of good option. .out of that 1 option would like to opt in my itinerary…that is Murren & Schilthorn…where i understood up till Schilthorn …but as my mother with me i can’t go for more hike…can you suggest me good way down from Schilthorn …to cover Murren / Grutschalp towards lauterbrunnen
Hi mira_chovatia,
Travelling to Mürren and Schilthorn is fairly easy with the cable car. You can find further information here: https://www.myswissalps.com/activity/schilthorn/
I recommend visit Schilthorn first, and stop in Mürren on the way down. Enjoy y pleasant stroll through the village and return to Lauterbrunnen via the train and cableway. You can find information about Mürren here: https://www.myswissalps.com/town/murren/
Hope this helps.

Hello all again,
Can you help me with good affordable Hotel/Apartment with kitchen facilty options in Interlaken, Lucerne & Zurich area..
Thanks in Advance
Hello
On the 8-day versus 15-day issue, an 8-day pass costs 419 Franks 2nd Class, 15-days costs just 40 Franks more – 459! Similarly a 1st class 8-day pass is 665 Franks. 723 Franks for 15 days.
In the past I have had 10 or 11 day holidays, but I have always happily bought 15 day STPs. The flexibility the STP gives is PRICELESS.
Best wishes
Roger
Hey Thanks ,
I also felt the same…for 15days STP
Also,
Can you help me with good affordable Hotel/Apartment with kitchen facilty options in Interlaken, Lucerne & Zurich area..
Thanks in Advance
Hello again
I personally have no expertise as to accommodation. I am hoping that other members of this forum will be able to help you.
Best wishes
Roger
Greetings,
Did you search AirBnB yet? I found a nice place in Lucerne via AirBnB recently. Since you are looking for accommodations with a kitchen this might be the best way to go. I would recommend you book as soon as possible.
Best regards
Hey RJC,
Thanks, but can you share AirBnB name you been to or any other good AirBnB in Interlaken, Lucerne and Zurich…as i want to make this place as my base location for my trip
Thanks in Advance !
