Hi novino2001 and welcome to MySwissAlps!
It will be fairly easy for you to take a train to each of your destinations. You can plan your trips with the Swiss railways timetable here.
If you would like more details on your planned trips (what to do and how to get there etc. check out the following pages: Zurich, Mt. Pilatus, RheinFall, Lugano and Jungfraujoch.
Have a read through our page on ‘how to choose the best rail pass‘ to help you calculate which pass is the most economical for you – it depends on how many trips you will be taking by train, bus and boat during your 5 days.
The Swiss Travel Passallows for almost entirely ticket-less travel (no need to buy tickets) except for your trip to Jungfraujoch where you have to buy a ticket from Grindelwald or Wengen to Jungfraujoch (25% off). The STP also covers most museum entrance costs as well.
The Swiss Half Fare Card gives 50% off all trips but you must buy a ticket for every trip you take (including local transit).
With either pass you can order the Swiss Family Card (free) to cover the 7 year old’s travel. The 16 year old will need to have their own Swiss Half Fare Card or a Youth Swiss Travel Pass.
