Hi Kajal and welcome to MySwissAlps,

You’ll find a useful guide with a calculation spreadsheet, which helps you to choose a rail pass in 5 steps at http://www.myswissalps.com/tr ain/ticketspasses/prac tical/chooserailpass. The downloadable spreadsheet also includes links to the “Where it’s valid” page for all available passes, be sure to study it carefully. If you are driving and taking mountain trips, the Swiss Half Fare Card can be a good solution, but to make sure do the math with the spreadsheet.

They will all operate, you can see how to get them at:

• Jungfraujoch: http://www.myswissalps.com/ju ngfraujoch/gettingther e
• Titlis: http://www.myswissalps.com/ti tlis/gettingthere
• Pilatus: http://www.myswissalps.com/pi latus/gettingthere
• Glacier3000: http://www.myswissalps.com/glacier3000

You can reach the valley station of Glacier 3000 by car: you will find a large lot with free parking next to the Col du Pillon and Reusch cable car stations, located directly on the mountain pass road between Gstaad and Les Diablerets: http://www.myswissalps.com/glacier3000/gettingthere. Still I suggest you to take the train as driving can be tricky on the mountain routes, if you are not to used to it: http://www.myswissalps.com/ca r/drivinginthemountain s. You should be aware of the speed limits too, as Swiss traffic fines are really high. Here you can learn more about the Swiss traffic regulations: http://www.myswissalps.com/ca r/trafficregulations. This is a good article regarding cars vs trains: http://www.myswissalps.com/ca rversustrain. If you still decide to travel by car, make sure you review this practical information: http://www.myswissalps.com/ca r and http://www.myswissalps.com/co 2compensation.
