    Hi Snedan lopes,

    Welcome to MySwissAlps.

    It looks like you will be exploring mainly places around the Bernese Oberland. Therefore it might be worth getting the Regional Pass Bernese Oberland. The pass provides free unlimited traveling for 3, 4, 6, 8 or 10 consecutive days in the Bernese Oberland region. See more details of the pass here: http://www.myswissalps.com/regionalpassberneseoberland

    However the Regional Pass Bernese Oberland won’t cover your trip to see the Matterhorn as Zermatt is in a different region. For trips not covered by the RPBO, there are other options such as a Saver Day Pass or a Swiss Travel Pass. This quick guide will help you compare various railpass combinations to find the best fit for your trip: http://www.myswissalps.com/train/ticketspasses/practical/chooserailpass

    Hope this gets you started.

    Regards,

    Anna

    Pl make an itinerary of travel and in simple spreadsheets plot fares from/to places with swiss half pass

    compare that with swiss travel pass. Swiss travel pass also includes free entry to attractions and reductions

    if you do not want to have so much hassle just go for swiss travel pass. It is very convenient and I personally used

    Thank you Anna & Shroffchetan.

    I will also be travelling to Interlaken so I think Swiss rail pass will be the best.

    Just wanted to know whether Swiss rail pass works in Lauterbrunen,Wengan and Grindalwald?

    Hi again,

    The Swiss Travel Pass is valid for travel all over Switzerland. So yes, it is also valid in Interlaken, Lauterbrunnen, Wengen and Grindelwald. With the STP, you will be able to travel on Swiss public transport for free and enjoy up to 50% discounts on cable cars and mountain railways. For more details, see here: http://www.myswissalps.com/swisstravelpass/validity

    Let us know if you need further information.

    Regards,

    Anna
