Hello, all. I promised myself that I would not be one of those posting their plans and asking for advice, but alas...here I am. I have priced out the legs of our journey that I know we will be doing and I would like to get another set of eyes on it to make sure I priced things appropriately. I had a bit of trouble initially, but I think I figured it out. We shall see. For an overview, we are landing in Zurich and traveling directly to Murren. I did think about taking a slight detour to Luzern for a little break after the flight, but not sure. We will be spending our time in Murren hiking. We also want to do a day at the lake (Brienz and/or Thun) and take one of the boats. Additionally, I am sure we will make our way to Wengen at least one time. From Murren, we will be taking the train to Basel. I have tickets from Basel to Paris on the TGV. I have rounded the below ticket prices (and they are per person). Ok...here goes:
Zurich - Murren = $80
Murren - Basel = $80
Murren - Lakes and back = $52
Murren - Wengen and back = $35
Lake boat trip = $100
Total $347
With 1/2 fare card, total would be $304
With the 8 day Swiss Saver Pass, the total would be $334 and would allow us the peace of mind of not having to buy a ticket every time, plus it would give flexibility and an additional trip to the valley or Wengen, if we so desired. From what I am seeing, the Swiss Pass is a no brainer for us, but I am afraid I have done something incorrectly. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks so much!
