Family of 10 (including 2 under age 16) arriving at Geneva Airport on June 21, 2017. We will take the Golden Pass to Interlaken and then Wengen, where we are staying 7 days. During our stay in Wengen, we hope to use the local trains and lifts to move between Grindelwald, Kleine Scheidegg, Jungfraujoch, Lauterbrunnen, Murren, and Schilthorn. After leaving Wengen, we spend 5 days in Chateau D’Oex where we will take the Golden Pass trains both west to Montreux/Vevey and east to Zweisimmen and Gstaad. On July 2, 2017, we must leave Chateau D’Oex and travel back to Geneva Airport for our afternoon departure.
I am having difficulty choosing the rail passes. Is the Swiss Transfer Ticket and Berner Oberland Regional Pass the best combination for us? Thank you!

Hi variation15, welcome to MySwissAlps!
The only way to tell for sure which pass or pass combination works best is to the math in quite a detailed way, as explained at http://www.myswissalps.com/tr ain/ticketspasses/prac tical/chooserailpass. As for your plans: I don’t think a Swiss Transfer Ticket and a Regional-Pass Bernese Oberland will work that well. That’s because the Swiss Transfer Ticket requires you to use either the quickest or the cheapest route to your destination: http://www.myswissalps.com/sw isstransferticket/howt ouse. When traveling from Geneva to Wengen, the Golden Pass route is both longer and a bit more expensive than the default route via Bern and Spiez, so technically this is not allowed. The Regional-Pass Bernese Oberland provides excellent coverage in the Jungfrau region, but discounted traveling around Chateau d’Oex only: http://www.myswissalps.com/re gionalpassberneseoberl and/validity.
In all, a 15 day Swiss Travel Pass might be better and in any case easier. Again, you’ll have to work your way through calculations to be sure.
Does this get you started?
