Bernese Oberland, which pass to choose

Hello Krister,

Which pass is most suitable for your holidays, depends on several factors. If you intend to travel almost every day and if you would like to make some longer journeys outside of the Bernese Oberland, a Swiss Pass may be a good choice. Another advantage of the Swiss Pass is that you don’t have to buy regular train tickets for each journey. You can simply board almost any train, bus or boat.

If, on the other hand, your trips will mostly take place within the Bernese Oberland, the Regional-Pass may be the best option. The Regional-Pass comes in handy if you want to concentrate on exploring mountain railways and viewing points in this area.

Which pass is best, ultimately depends on your plans. You may try to make a list of your plans and follow our tips to calculate the most economical option.
