Costs and route to Blausee/Kandersteg in June with Swiss Travel Pass
A traveler and their friends are planning a trip to Switzerland in June and want to visit Blausee on the 9th. They need advice on how to get there from Bern and whether the Swiss Travel Pass covers the entrance fee to the lake.
- To visit Blausee from Bern, take the RE1 train to Frutigen, then catch bus number 230 to Blausee BE.
- The Swiss Travel Pass covers train and bus rides, but you need to pay for admission to Blausee.

Hello again
There is only one way to get from Bern to the Blausee. Get the RE1 train which leaves Bern at 39 minutes past each hour. Make sure you get in the front part of the train, in the carriages marked as going to Brig or Domodossola. After 45 minutes on the train, get off at Frutigen.
Walk through the station subway towards the main exit, and as you come out of the subway look for bus stop B. I would expect the number 230 bus bound for Kandersteg to be waiting at this stop for passengers (like you) coming off the train. This bus is scheduled to leave at 27 minutes past hour. It takes 14 minutes to get to the stop Blausee BE, close to the entrance to the lake.
You can check train and bus schedules on the Swiss timetable: https://www.myswissalps.com/travel/public-transport/timetable/
Your Swiss Travel Passes (https://www.myswissalps.com/travel-ticket/swiss-travel-pass/) give you free rides on the train and the bus, but does NOT give free admission to the Blausee lake. You will have to pay an entrance charge.
Buses back to Frutigen, connecting with the train back to Bern, leave at 08 minutes past each hour.
