7 nights and days in Switzerland

Hello sugarplum! You seem to already have made some calculations (referring to your previous post), so yes: a rail pass is definitely economical in your case. I think you should consider either a Swiss Saver Flexi Pass (with free travel days for your longest trips, being day 2, 6, 7, and 8 and discounts on the remaining days) or a Swiss Half Fare Card. The Swiss Transfer Ticket will only cover Basel-Wengen (day 2) and Basel-Zurich Airport (day 8), and no further trips. So that wouldn’t be a good choice. You’ll find links to overview maps at the pages I referred to. These maps allow you to see which discounts or free routes are offered. (As for the Jungfraujoch: a 25% discount applies with a Swiss Flexi Pass and 50% with a Swiss Half Fare Card.)

I think you should use public transportation as much as possible in Switzerland. Generally it’s clean, reliable and a great relaxed way of traveling, allowing you to enjoy the scenery. Please refer to the timetable and the Chocolate Train website for detailed trip planning.

Hello sugarplum. The 4 day Swiss Saver Pass isn’t a good option, as the travel days have to be used consecutively. That means that 4 days during the first and/or the last part of your stay won’t be covered.

The 8 day Swiss Saver Pass is an option. It’s more expensive than a 4 day Swiss Saver Flexi Pass though. The difference is that you can travel for free on all days with your 8 day Swiss Saver Pass, and that there are some days with discounts (instead of free traveling) with a 4 day Swiss Saver Flexi Pass. Since you have planned a number of days with shorter local trips, I think the 4 day Swiss Saver Flexi Pass may turn out to be a bit cheaper over all. But if free traveling on all days on all days is important to you, the 8 day Swiss Saver Pass is the ideal solution.
