Hello
My husband and I will be travelling to Switzerland in late September for our Honeymoon. I have spent minimum 10 hours researching and am still at a loss as to how to get the best value for rail pass. Below is our itinerary – any advice/help would be very much appreciated.
I have considered a 3 day flex swiss rail pass and a 3 day consecutive jungfraujoch pass as I think this is better value for the cable cars/fernicualrs. Days 2 – 5 are interchangeable depending on weather, how to use the pass. Days 1 and 6 are fixed as we have connecting flights.
Day 1 – Arrive Zurich airport at 1pm, train to Wengen
Days 2 – Wengen – Jungfraujoch – Wengen
Day 3 – Wengen – Mannlichen – Grindewald – First – (return hike to Bachalspee, lunch and first flyer at First) – Grindewald – Pfinstegg – Wengen
Day 4 – Wengen – Murren – Shilthorn – Allmendhubel – (walk to) Winteregg – Murren – Wengen
Day 5 – Wengen – Spiez – Lake Thun (boat ride) – Wengen
Day 6 – Wengen to Geneva Airport (arrive by 3pm)

Hi Sarah a m co, and welcome to MySwissAlps!
My first thought is to buy a 6 day Regional Pass Bernese Oberland plus point to point tickets in and out the Wengen. The RPBO coverage map (and mountain discounts) can be found here: http://www.myswissalps.com/re gionalpassberneseoberl and/validity
- You’ll need to buy a ticket to Lucerne from Zurich airport on day 1 (then you are covered to Interlaken via the Golden Pass route)
- On Day 6 you are covered to Saanen fully, then discounted 50% to Montreux and then regular price to Geneva. This route allows you to follow the rest of the Golden Pass route: http://www.myswissalps.com/go ldenpass/gettingthere
- Do note you can buy the ticket, at Wengen station all the way to Geneva and they will give you the correct discounted price – you don’t need separate tickets 🙂
- As for other trips, the validity link above will show you the discounts to the various mountains: First and Pfingsteggg are both free but aren’t noted there.
You can buy the Regional Pass Bernese Oberland online here and have it emailed to you for home printing: http://www.myswissalps.com/re gionalpassberneseoberl and/price
