Hi All,

im heading to Switzerland the following week and would like to get your opinions on which pass I should get.

23rd night: Paris to Basel (separately purchased)

23rd night: Basel to Lucerne (34CHF)

24th: Golden Round Trip (72CHF)

25th noon: Lucerne to Grindelwald (44CHF)

26th: Grindelwald to and fro Jungfraujoch (190CHF)

27th: Grindelwald to Zermatt (94CHF)

28th: Zermatt to Klein Matterhorn (100CHF)

29th morning: Zermatt to Brig (38CHF)

29th morning: Brig to Venice (will purchase in station)

1. Total Swiss trips without pass: 572

2. with Swiss half fare card: 406 (572/2+120)

3. 8 day pass doesn’t seem to make sense. About 647. (418+36+143+50)

4. 3/4D STP Flexi – ???

5. 3/4D STP – ???

it seems like a Swiss half fare card will save me some money.

However, for the flexi Swiss travel pass, would I be able to get discounts on Jungfraujoch (25%) and Matterhorn (50%) if I don’t intend to use my pass for that day?

between 3-4 days flexi. That I am not so sure. Would like to seek some advice. Thanks in advance.

Hi Ck8728,

It is great that you’ve already searched for the original prices. On this link you’ll find a useful guide with a calculation spreadsheet, which helps you to choose a rail pass in just 5 steps: http://www.myswissalps.com/tr ain/ticketspasses/prac tical/chooserailpass. The downloadable spreadsheet also includes links to the “Where it’s valid” page for all available passes, be sure to study it carefully.

You can also mix the Swiss Travel Pass with Saver Day Pass: http://www.myswissalps.com/sw isstravelpass/details. (Be careful, Saver Day pass is not good for mountain trips: http://www.myswissalps.com/sa verdaypass/validity).

You can use the discounts of the Swiss Travel Pass Flex only on the chosen days. If you are not using on that day, you cannot get the discounts for Jungfraujoch/Klein Matterhorn either: http://www.myswissalps.com/sw isstravelpassflex/howt ouse

If you are coming from Paris and going to Venice after your Swiss journey, read these too: http://www.myswissalps.com/tr aintickets/france and http://www.myswissalps.com/tr aintickets/italy.

Have you seen the Eurail Global Pass (http://www.myswissalps.com/eu railglobalpass)? You could travel with it not just in Switzerland but also in France and Italy on trains and boats, although it won’t give you discounts on Klein Matterhorn. Make sure to check the validity map of it too.
