    Hi Rakesh and welcome to MySwissAlps!

    1. The route from Interlaken Ost to Jungfraujoch is about 2 hours with changes in Lauterbrunnen and Kleine Scheidegg – you can check the train timetables here.
    2. When you say Swiss pass do you mean the Swiss Travel Pass? If so it will cover the trip to Mt. Pilatus, yes. you can see everything that is covered by the Swiss Travel Pass here.
    3. No it doesn’t cover the whole trip just 50% (check the link above). The route to Mt. Titlis is explained here.
    4. See link on #2. It does cover the 3 routes you mention between your towns.

    Each adult in your group will need to buy the Swiss Travel Pass. Your children are covered on the Swiss Family Card (free, and ordered at the same time as the Swiss Travel Passes).

    1. It depends on your train trip (if any) on June 13. If you are flying into Geneva and staying there the first night then have your pass start on the 14th. You can buy the Swiss Travel Pass online here and print it at home for ease of use.
    2. Yes, you can see a map of all the routes covered by the Swiss Travel Pass here.
    3. You can see a list of our recommended activities for Luzern here and Zurich here.

    Cheers!
