I have found all posts and threads brilliant but I am still left confused with the tickets I need for our Summer 2020 trip to Interlaken and Zurich. We are a family of 3 (2 adults and 1 child (10) ) and have a heavily discounted STP through my place of work but wondered if I still need to buy a regional pass for the Jungfrau region or to just buy as I go.We do wish to do all activity ie mountain coasters, zip lining, Jungfraujoch tobogganing and any other activity going! We require rail travel from Zurich to Interlaken return and would also like to visit Bern and Lucerne one and the other way back. We are staying in Interlaken for 7 nights and 1 night in Zurich currently but may cut Interlaken to 5/6 and do Lucerne 1/2. Any assistance would be much appreciated.

Hi BudNArt,
Welcome to MySwissAlps!
I don’t know how much discounts you are getting for the Swiss Travel Pass from your workplace but it sounds like a good deal you should definitely take advantage of. The Swiss Travel Pass is the most comprehensive and flexible railpass as it allows you unlimited travel on the local public transportation across Switzerland. The Jungfrau Travel Pass is good too but is only valid in the Jungfrau region. Details of each railpass are provided in the links below:
- Swiss Travel Pass: http://www.myswissalps.com/swisstravelpass
- Jungfrau Travel Pass: http://www.myswissalps.com/jungfrautravelpass
You can request for the Swiss Family Card for your child. This comes complimentary with the Swiss Travel Pass and would allow your child to travel along for free.
If you are not sure which railpass to get, I strongly recommend you to download the spreadsheet and do the math as explained here: http://www.myswissalps.com/train/ticketspasses/practical/chooserailpass
Please use the SBB timetable to plan your journeys: http://www.myswissalps.com/timetable

It’s unlikely a Jungfrau Travel Pass would be worth it on top of the Swiss Travel Pass. Especially if you switch to Interlaken/Luzern 5/2. But you should run the numbers per Anna’s advice.
