    Dear All

    I and my wife are in Swiss from 07 June 2017 till 12 June i.e 5 Nights / 6 Days with my 2 kids ( 9 / 3.6 Years ) and my parents , Reaching swiss from paris in evening on 07 June and Leaving Swiss to Venice in Mrng on 12 June, i like to seek advise on few doubts.

    a) We are planning to stay in Lucerne for all 5 nights , is this ok or we should change the base after 2/3 nights?

    b) We are planing to visit , Full Day Tour Mt Jung , Next Day tour to mt Titlis , one day tour to Lucerne City, Still i have 1 full day left , so what should i visit keeping in mind that it should not be very hectic and 2 kids and parents are with me?

    c) To Visit Mt Junfru i have researched the routing , please suggest is this is the right routing?

    Lucerne to Interlaken — 09:05 – 09:55 — 34 Eur

    Interleken to Lauterbern — 11:05 – 11:25 — 9.5 Eur

    Lauterberren to Klein Scheidegg — 12:07 – 12:50 — 29 Eur

    Klein Scheidegg To Jungfroach — 13:30 – 14:05 — 61 Eur

    Total — 133 Eur

    Return : Different Route

    Jungfroach to Klein Scheidegg — 16:13 – 16:48 — 61 Eur

    Klein Scheidegg To Glindelwald — 17:03 – 17:42 — 30 Eur

    Glindelwald to Interlaken — 05:49 – 06:24 — 13 Eur

    Interlaken To Lucerne — 07:04 – 08:55 — 34 Eur

    Total — 138 Eur Per Person

    Total : 271 Eur Per Person

    1) Is this is the right routing?

    2) Is these are the prices which i have checked?

    3) Does a Swiss Half Fare Card will save money?

    4) I believe kids will be free if i take Swiss Half Fare Card?

    4) Also I will be travelling to Mt Titlis and Lucerne to Zurich etc so Half Fare card will be useful?

    I know my thread is long but i need advise.

    Thanks in Advance

    Hi Ankur,

    1. Luzern is a popular base town and could work for you for 5 days based on what you said you want to see. Another option, if you want, is to stay in Interlaken for 2 nights or even a smaller alpine town like Lauterbrunnen (both are closer to Jungfraujoch) but its up to you what towns you prefer.
    2. Your routes are correct. All you need to do is enter Luzern to Jungfraujoch on the timetable to see the route options on your day of travel.
    3. Prices will vary depending on any rail pass you may have. The Swiss Travel Pass covers the trains up to Grindelwald. From there you must buy a ticket to Jungfraujoch (at a 25% discount). You can buy this ticket before leaving Luzern – so no need to get off train. The Swiss Half Fare Card does indeed offer 50% all the trips to Jungfraujoch – and 50% off all train trips in Switzerland. Your children will travel free if you get either of those rail passes for the adults – you must just order the Swiss Family Card (free) along with the rail pass. All children under 5 travel free regardless of what ticket or pass you have.

    Let us know if you have further questions!

    Thanks Lucas for your help.

    Please Also Advise as i have shared my points of interest in swiss and also we are coming to Swiss from Paris by Eurail after spending 3 days at paris , which pass will save money for my travel?

    1.

    a) Swiss Half Fare Card

    b) Swiss Travel Pass OR

    c) 2 Country Pass ( France and Swiss )

    2. I have 1 day free at swiss , I should visit Mt Pilatus OR Schihthron OR Any Scenic Train Route for 1 Day so that i can reach my base in the night?

    Thanks

    If you are only taking the one train in France (to Zurich) then I would not buy the Eurail Select Pass. I think the Swiss Travel Pass is the best option for you.

    Have a look at our information pages to help you decide on choosing between Schilthorn, Mt. Pilatus and maybe the Golden Pass panoramic train (between Luzern and Montreux). Mt. Pilatus is the easiest mountain to reach from Luzern and if you prefer a scenic train ride than I would look at the Golden Pass which starts in Luzern.

    Please make sure you read through my first post to help you in this trip plan as well.
