    Hi,

    first trip to Switzerland. seek some advice.

    staying in Grindelwald for 9 days. Ski for about 3-4 days.

    Balance days to go up Jungfrau, Lauterbrunnen, Murren as day trip to and back Grindelwald.

    Apart from the 3 places, where else do you suggest as Day trip ?

    traveling as family – 1 Adult, 3 kids 14-17.

    what do you recommend on transportation – Should I buy travel pass – which type ? Or single ticket? Where can I check single ticket fare ?

    hope to have your advice, thank you very much.

    Hello b3Ch and Welcome to MySwissAlps,

    By far the best way to check timetables, find fares* and buy tickets on-line if required is using the SBB Mobile app (bit.ly/2ICIUHi). In the unlikely event you don’t have a device capable of running the app then you can use the timetable on the SBB website (bit.ly/2HH1U7B). If you are not familiar with using the timetable it will pay to first read the instructions at http://www.myswissalps.com/ti metable

    * The SBB website shows half-fare prices by default, the mobile app allows you to nominate whether to show full or half-fares (by editing the passenger details in settings) and is also smart enough to offer you the Saver Day Pass (http://www.myswissalps.com/sa verdaypass) if that offers the best fare. The app also show a platform map (at least at the larger stations) to help you make connections.

    Based on your personal itinerary you should read “How to choose the best travel pass” (http://www.myswissalps.com/tr ain/ticketspasses/prac tical/chooserailpass), download the handy spreadsheet calculator and do the math. The spreadsheet also includes links to the “Where it’s valid” page for all available passes. Be sure to check those pages for each pass you are considering. Study the map AND read all the text on those pages to fully understand what is covered by the respective pass.

    Your children (>5<16) will travel free with a Swiss Family Card (http://www.myswissalps.com/sw issfamilycard) which is available for free when acquired in conjunction with a Swiss Travel Pass (http://www.myswissalps.com/sw isstravelpass) or Swiss Half Fare Card (http://www.myswissalps.com/sw isshalffarecard).

    Hello B3Ch,

    As you seem to mainly plan being in the Jungfrau Region you might want to look into the Jungfrau Hiking and Sledging Pass as a regional option:
