    Please let me know if you see any flaws to my September Switzerland trip plan with STP and any suggestions are welcome especially if it saves me money. 😜
    River cruise Amsterdam to Basel.
    Purchase 4 day STP prior to trip.
    Day 1 – Basel to Zermatt
    Day 2 – Gornergrat in Zermatt
    Day 3 – Zermatt to Wengan
    Day 4 – day trip to Grindelwald.
    Day 5 – Purchase day pass Wengen to Lauterbrunnen then Lauterbrunnen to Buchs then OBB Austrian train pass to Salzburg.
    No trains needed after that.
    Thanks for your help!

    Hi Brad,

    Thanks for sharing your itinerary. Great planning with the Swiss Travel Pass! On Day 5, I think you’re looking at the Saver Day Pass. Make sure you book that well in advance.

    You will also need additional ticket for the train journey from the Swiss border to Salzburg: https://www.myswissalps.com/travel-guide/austria-switzerland/
