Rail pass for 9 days Grindelwald, Zermatt, Lucerne
-
Dear swiss alps experts,
My wife and I will be travelling to Switzerland in August this year and we need your help on which passes to buy as we are travelling to a few places (i.e. Zur – Grindelwald – Zermatt – Lucerne – Zur)
Itinerary
Day 1: Grindelwald.
- Arrival at Zurich airport. Plan is to take a train directly to Grindelwaldin early afternoon.
Day 2 to 4: Grindelwald.
- Plan to visit Jungfraujoch, kleine scheidegg, Stilhorn, Lake Thun
Day 5: Zermatt
- Train from Grindelwald to Zermatt
Day 6: Zermatt
Day 7: Lucerne
- Train from Zermatt to Lucerne in the morning
Day 8: Lucerne
- Plans to visit Mt Rigi, Mt. Pilatus and Chapel Bridge.
Day 9: Zurich
- Train from Lucerne directly to Zurich airport for flight home that departs at 9pm at night.
Options
From my analysis, I have the following options:
Option 1:
- 1 x swiss travel pass 8 days
- 1 x one way tic from luzern to zurich
Option 2:
- 1 x one way tic from zur to grindelwald
- 1 x BO pass 4 days
- 1 x swiss travel pass 4 days
- 1 x one way tic from luzern to zurich
Summary
I am torn between option 1 and 2. Mainly due to the fact that the Bernese Oberland pass will grant me better discounts during my 4 days visit to the BO as I heard trips to places like Jungfraujoch can be really expensive.
Would you help to provide some advice?
Kind regards,
Stanley
