    Hi,

    We honeymooned in Grindlewald more years ago than I care to remember ๐Ÿ™‚

    We are returning for 14 nights and plan on walking and sightseeing using the bus/train network in the area.

    we fly in to Zurich and return same way.

    What is our best option for travel from airport and the local trains /buses/gondolas etc?

    I feel that half price pass is best as full pass seems v expensive and I donโ€™t mind buying tickets on the day of travelโ€”or am I wrong in this assumption.

    looking forward to your replies on what must be an often asked question!

    thank you.

    Simon & Fiona.

    In that case the Regional-Pass Bernese Oberland might be the best option for you (but do note itโ€™s only available for 4, 6, 8 or 10 days). You may want to compare it to the Swiss Half Fare Card and 15-day Swiss Travel Pass. Do download the maps from those pages so youโ€™ll be sure about what is included. How to compare passes is explained here.

    Am I correct in thinking that the Bernese Oberland pass wont cover Zurich airport to Grindlewald?

    Part of the ride is included (from Bern or Lucerne onwards). Youโ€™d better download the map; that will get you all the details.
