Help...we need clear, concise train info.....

Hello,

We are travelling from Geneva to Wengen on July 5th. We will return to Geneva on July 11th. For the 5 days (the 6th to the 10th) that we are not travelling to/from Geneva, we plan to stay in the area around Wengen, but will also do a day trip outside of the region to Zermatt and the Matterhorn. What rail pass should we buy???

THANK YOU!!

Hello pittzy,

Welcome to our website! A 3-day Swiss Saver Flexi Pass suits your plans. You can use the free travel days for your transfers from Geneva to Wengen and back, and for the trip to Zermatt. It allows you to get discounted tickets for the shorter trips you'll make on the other days. The pass is extra cheap with the $50 for a limited time, see here.

Be sure to take the Golden Pass route on your way to Wengen, via Montreux and Zweisimmen.

Hi pittzy,

I am glad that was helpful. A Jungfraujoch ticket costs CHF 122.25 with the Swiss Flexi Pass discount (25%) and CHF 60.00 with the Regional-Pass Bernese Oberland discount (free to Kleine Scheidegg and 50% off the remaining leg). Just that trip would not justify purchasing the Regional-Pass too, which costs CHF 175 for Swiss Pass holders. Effectively you only have a few days in the region since you'll also be traveling from and to Geneva and one day is for the Zermatt trip. So it depends on what you do during the remaining days. My guess would be that just the Swiss Flexi Pass is sufficient, especially since you're also getting the $50 discount if you buy in time, plus a 10% discount for two or more people traveling together (the 'Saver' variant). To be sure, you can list all your plans and calculate the difference as explained here. Maps of what's included in each pass can be downloaded from the Swiss Pass and Regional-Pass pages.
