Swiss Half Fare Card or Swiss Travel Flex Combi?
-
Hi
I would like to start off by saying how amazing this website is! It is a fantastic site for first timer to Switzerland like me, with the rich yet concise content. Keep up the good work!
My husband and I would be travelling to Switzerland this December. We would be grateful if you could give us some advice on the questions below, based on this itinerary.
Day 1: Zurich to Zermatt
Day 2: Zermatt to Gornergrat (return trip)
Day 3: Zermatt to Interlaken Ost; Lake Thun boat ride; Thun to Interlaken Ost
Day 4: Interlaken to Jungraujoch (return trip)
Day 5: Interlaken Ost to Lucerne
Day 6: Lucerne to Mt Titlis (return trip)
Day 7: Lucerne to Mt Rigi Kulm (return trip)
Day 8: Lucerne to Zurich; Zurich to Bern (return trip)
- Is Swiss Travel Flex, Swiss Travel Flex Combi or Half Fare Card most suitable?
- Are we still entitled to discounts for the scenic trains/cable cars/boat rides (eg Gornergrat, Jungfraujoch/Lake Thun boat ride) on non-validated days, if I buy Swiss Travel Flex?
- Does Half Fare card entitle us to discounted scenic trains/cable car rides/boat rides?
- Is there any way to check the train timing for dates past 12 December 2015, from sbb.ch?
- For the Lake Thun boat ride, can we board the boat from Interlaken West station? What’s the difference between Interlaken West and Interlaken West ThS? Is the pier near Interlaken West station?
- During the Lake Thun boat ride, can we stop at Oberhofen am Thunersee to go visit the castle? Is there any train from there back to Interlaken Ost?
- Do I have to purchase the boat ticket in advance?
- For the boat ride from Lucerne to Weggis, does the cogwheel train to Rigi Kulm operate in winter?
- In your opinion, is the bear park in Bern worth going in December?
Apologies for the multiple questions. Look forward to your advice.
Thanks!
