    You can read about the Regional Pass Bernese oberland at http://www.myswissalps.com/re gionalpassberneseoberl and. Be sure to check the “where it’s valid” tab on that page.

    It does not cover Zurich to Luzern.

    On Day 7 – 9 what do you mean by –> sz?

    Based on your itinerary your really should read “How to choose the best travel pass” (http://www.myswissalps.com/tr ain/ticketspasses/prac tical/chooserailpass), download the handy spreadsheet calculator and do the math.

    April can be really quiet and several attractions in the mountains may not operate including some hotels and restaurants. It is non-peak for a reason – it is smack in the middle between the Summer Peak and the Winter Peak.

    Hi Szern9356,

    Good to see you’re planning so much ahead, that gives you time to figure out all the details for a perfect stay here in Switzerland!

    Day 7 -9; only the journey up to Brig would be covered by the Regional Pass Bernese Oberland as you can see on the map in Rockoysters link.

    Use his link to find out about the best Rail Pass for you.

    You might want to look at the Swiss Travel Pass and the Swiss Half Fare card as good options for longer stays and depending if you also want to explore Lucerne and Zurich to a certain extend:

    To check the dates of operation of the mountain attractions you can search the destination in the search bar of this page, e.g. “Schilthorn” and then go to the “Route” section to find the dates of operation.
