Hi mbear12,
(Partly in addition to the answer you already got): The way to figure out which legs of the example day trips are for free with a Swiss Pass, is to look at the overview of the network on which the Swiss Pass is valid. The link to this PDF-file can be found on the
Swiss Pass page.
For me it works to divide the Swiss Transportation System into two categories: 1. the normal transportation system (trains, boats, busses) and 2. the mountain transportation system (cable cars, gondolas, funiculars, mountain trains, etc.).
In general you can say that with your Swiss Pass (or free and non-free days of your Swiss Flexi Pass) you will get a 50% discount on most means of mountain transportation.
