Prior to our 15-Day Swiss Travel Pass in Switzerland (Sept. 15-29), my wife and I will be in Austria for 6 days (Sept. 9-14). Unfortunately they don’t have a 6-day pass that makes economic sense for us. So, I plan to purchase point-to-point “sparscheine” tickets from Vienna to Salzburg and from Salzburg to Innsbruck. My options for the morning of Sept. 15, when we leave Innsbruck and travel to Zurich are:

a) purchase a 19 euro “sparschiene” ticket from Innsbruck to Zurich or

b) purchase a 9 euro “sparschiene” ticket from Innsbruck to Buchs SG and continue on to Zurich using our 15-Day Swiss Travel Pass.

My question is: Does anyone have any other ideas or is Option B make the most sense to you?

Hello Art and Welcome to MySwissAlps,

Option B seems sensible as long as you are not “wasting” one of your 15 STP days for such a cheap trip.

Thanks Ildiko for the info. I learned something new… the “pass-holder fare”. I’ll look into it for that morning.
