Hi everyone,

I plan on staying in Interlaken for 6 days travelling from Zurich Airport and would like to visit Grindelwald, Lauterbrunnen and Kandersteg. I have looked at the info on here but still a bit unsure on the best rail pass for my plans. I don’t mind what days and times I visit these places. Would just like to ensure I find the cheapest pass as i’l be on a bit of a budget.

Many thanks

Hello Just and Welcome to MySwissAlps,

There is no simple answer to that question.

A clearly mapped out itinerary will provide you with the basis for deciding which pass (if any) suits.

Using your itinerary you need to do the sums based on the cost of all your planned trips on trains, boats, cable cars etc. You can find the fares for any trip using the SBB Timetable (http://www.myswissalps.com/ti metable). If you are not familiar with the timetable it will pay to first read the instructions on that page.

When you go to buy a ticket the fare you see on the right hand side of the page will normally be the half-fare price. Double it to get full fare.

You should read “How to choose the best travel pass” (http://www.myswissalps.com/tr ain/ticketspasses/prac tical/chooserailpass), download the handy spreadsheet calculator and do the math.

As well as the Swiss Travel Pass (http://www.myswissalps.com/sw isstravelpass) there are many regional passes (http://www.myswissalps.com/re gionalpasses) which can work depending on where you are based and how much travel you plan. Have a look at the Bernese Oberland Pass seeing you are staying in Interlaken.
