    Hello Sonihm

    Find a helpful 5-step instruction on how to choose the best rail pass here:
    http://www.myswissalps.com/tr ain/ticketspasses/prac tical/chooserailpass

    You will also find a very helpful spreadsheet in that link, allowing detailed comparison of rail passes.

    I suggest you look at the Swiss Travel Pass, a nice convenient option, covering most of your journeys and allowing comfortable traveling. Alternatively the Swiss Half Fare Card you mention is also a nice option
    Check below links, make sure to check all tabs:

    Best,
    Steph
