Hello, I am visiting switzerland mid April with 2 other people and unsure of which travel pass to buy. We will be flying to Zurich where we will then need a train to Lucerne, where we are staying for 3 days. We would like to visit Interlakken and Engelberg and lots of sightseeing and maybe boat trips too. Is there a travel pass that will cover all this for 3 days and save money? Thanks

Hello RachT and Welcome to MySwissAlps,

For convenience you can’t go past the Swiss Travel Pass. How much money it will save you depends on your detailed itinerary how much you use the pass.

If you like math (and can be bothered for such a short visit) then see the following instructions:

Based on your personal itinerary you should read “How to choose the best travel pass” (http://www.myswissalps.com/train/ticketspasses/practical/chooserailpass), download the handy spreadsheet calculator and do the math. The spreadsheet also includes links to the “Where it’s valid” page for all available passes. Be sure to check those pages for each pass you are considering. Study the map AND read all the text on those pages to fully understand what is covered by the respective pass.

For checking timetables see http://www.myswissalps.com/forum/topic/checking-train-timetables.
