Swiss Travel Pass or Half Fare Card or BO pass
-
Hi,
I am confused with the array of options on the Swiss discount passes. Here is our itinerary in Switzerland from 3rd August to 7th August 2015 (2 adults and 1 child 7 years old). Can you please suggest the best pass (most value for money) to purchase – Swiss Travel Pass or Half Fare Card or Bernese Oberland pass?
We are first travelling from USA to Paris, spending 3 days in Paris and then over to Switzerland for 4 days and then back home.
1. Day 1 – 3rd Aug – Take the train from Paris to Lauterbrunnen (this will be our base for 3 nights)
2. Day 2 – 4th Aug – hikes in bernese oberland area (Murren etc) and train ride to Schiltorn
3. Day 3 – 5th Aug – more hikes (Kleine Scheidegg area), and train ride to Jungfraujoch mountain
4. Day 4 – 6th Aug – Train from Lauterbrunnen to Zurich and explore the city (stay overnight).
5. Day 5 – 7th Aug – flying out of Zurich back home..
a. Which Swiss Pass provide the best value for our itinerary? I also read that the Jungfrau train ride is only 25% discounted on the Swiss Pass, so not sure if that is a factor.
b. Can you also suggest the best train route for journey from Paris to Lauterbrunnen (Day 1) , and from Lauterbrunnen to Zurich (Day 4)?
c. What is the best way to purchase passes and train tickets and how soon should this be done?
