Hi,
I am planning a trip to Swiss from Dec 11 2019 to Dec 18 2019. I will be reaching the Zurich Airport on Dec 11 2019 at 2.00pm we have booked our stay at Lucerne. We have planned to do a tour of Lucerne on that day nothing more.
Dec 12 2019
Sight seeing in Jungfraujoch region and Interlaken and return back to Lucerne stay.
Dec 13 2019
Sightseeing in Zermatt region from and return back to Luzern
Dec 14 2019
Sight seeing of Mount Titlis and Lucerne region (rigi)
Dec 15 2019
Check In for the stay from Lucerne to Zurich then catch Glacier Express from chur to brig and return back to Zurich for stay as on Sunday i thought train journey will be suitable.
Dec 16 2019
Sightseeing in Zurich
Dec 17 2019
Sightseeing in Zurich & Bern (Shopping)
Dec 18 2019
Return to Airport by 11.00am

My thought
Is it useful to take 8day swiss travel pass ?
Or
For Dec 11, Take point to point ticket for train from Airport to Lucerne and take a local pass for Lucerne region
For Dec 12 – 15, Take Swiss travel pass for 4days
For Dec 16-17, Take local pass of Zurich
For Dec 18, Take point to point ticket for return journey to Airport

Which one is cost effective and best suitable way of taking the travel pass ?

Please suggest me for a comfortable journey ….

Hello Suresh Kumar and Welcome to MySwissAlps,

Nice to hear you’re coming along to Switzerland in December!

You’ve clearly done some research already into the available rail passes and tickets for the Swiss rail system.

Overall I think you’re mix of the Swiss Travel Pass and point-to-point tickets makes sense. For detailed calculations please find a very helpful spreadsheet below to support you:

If you’re staying in a hotel in Lucerne you will get a so-called Visitors Card, including local city travel:

In Zurich, this is not the case, unfortunately.

Two more recommendations to look into.
1. The Swiss Half Fare Card, providing you with a 50% discount on the regular tickets

– http://www.myswissalps.com/tr aintickets/switzerland halffare
2. The Saver Day Pass (available with or without the Swiss Half Fare Card)
– http://www.myswissalps.com/sa verdaypass

Happy calculating and get back to us anytime for further support.

Btw, you can find input on practically all your destinations by typing them into the search bar of this page.

Best,
Steph
