    Hello Deniece and Welcome to the MySwisAlps Forum,

    A Swiss Travel Pass is going to be of marginal value for that sort of trip depending on whether you plan any sort of transport on your day in Grindelwald. Full fare return 2nd class tickets would cost you around CHF180. A 3-day Pass is CHF216.

    If you have time go one way via Bern and return via scenic Golden Pass route via Zweisimmen and Montreux. http://www.myswissalps.com/go ldenpass

    You can check timetables here http://www.myswissalps.com/ti metable

    If you are arriving and departing Switzerland at Geneva then a Swiss Transfer Ticket at CHF146 may be most economic for you but you are then obliged to travel both ways via the fastest route (ie via Bern). See http://www.myswissalps.com/sw isstransferticket

    Brilliant, thank you so much.. so if I take the Golden pass route on my return is that all included in the cost of a Swiss travel pass? Or do I need to buy a separate ticket for that? Sorry if that question is so obvious, I’ve really struggled to find the information I need. Thanks again

    Correct. No further tickets are required if you have a Swiss Travel Pass. Reservations are recommended between Zweisimmen and Montreux during peak tourist periods. See http://www.mob.ch/en/reservat ion-procedure

    If you have time purchase your STP on-line for print at home delivery so you can just hop on the train at Geneva. http://www.swissrailways.com/ en/node/66
