    I will be traveling through Switzerland in a few weeks and would love advice on the best train ticket to purchase. I have done much reading but am finding I still could use some help please.

    Night 1 – Zurich

    Night 2 – Lucerne

    Night 3 through 6 – Interlaken

    Night 7 – Zermatt

    Night 8 – Zurich

    Flexibility is useful and in Interlaken I plan to take day trips each day (Jungfraujoch, Grindelwald, etc). There will be 2 adults traveling. I will likely be signing up for group tours at some of the locations and most of those include costs of transportation and admittance fees already. Thanks for any help.

    Hi Marisadvm, thanks for joining MySwissAlps!

    An 8 day Swiss Travel Pass provides most flexibility: myswissalps.com/swisst ravelpass. However, if you’ll be joining group tours in which traveling costs are included, it may not be the most economic option. A Swiss Half Fare Card could be better in that case: myswissalps.com/swissh alffarecard. You’ll be less flexible though, as you’ll have to buy discounted tickets for each trip. If you’d like to calculate which option suits your plans best, please see myswissalps.com/train/ ticketspasses/practica l/chooserailpass.
