For the itinerary below it looks like an 8-day swiss pass is way more than the sum of the individual tickets. Am i missing something here? 2 for 1 deal is not available in July and that makes the pass option more expensive. When I randomly looked up the local tickets many of them were at most 10 CHF or so. Unless it is a big hassle buying individual tickets or the boat/cablecar/museum freebies on the pass amount to 200 CHF per person it appears as if I am losing out buying the 8 day pass. please advise.
day 1 -- zurich airport to interlaken
days 2 to 4 -- interlaken-based sightseeing (including Jungfraujoch, day excursions to Thun and so on)
day 4 -- interlaken to lucerne
days 4-6 -- lucerne-based sightseeing (pilatus as well as lucerne-specific sights)
day 6 -- lucerne to zurich
days 6-7 -- zurich-based sight-seeing including a trip to rhine waterfalls)
