Travel in Lucerne and Interlaken/ Jungfrau
-
Along with my wife, I would be visiting Switzerland for about 5 days in the first week of September. As this is part of a Europe itinerary, we have already purchased the Eurail Global Pass for our entire trip.
The Swiss leg of our plan is as follows:
Day 1: Lucerne (arriving from Innsbruck via Zurich), local sights
Day 2: Engelberg and Mt Titlis and return to Lucerne for the night
Day 3: Lucerne -> Interlaken with stay at a lodge in Iseltwald
Day 4: Jungfrau + Gimmelwald and return to Interlaken
Day 5: Local Interlaken sights, with Golden Pass train to Montreux and further to Geneva for night stay.
Day 6 morning: Leave Geneva for Paris.My questions are:
1. Is the itinerary fine or do I need to modify it?
2. We have heard that the Jungfrau trip is on the expensive side, despite the 25% discount accruing from the Eurail Pass (right?). Is there any way we can reduce our costs on this (by buying some other card or something) ?
3. For local get-around in Lucerne & Interlaken, I believe our Eurail Pass is not valid. I have however heard that the hotels/hostels provide a tourist travel card which enables free unlimited travel. Is this true? Is it available at all hotels/hostels or should i find out from our hotel/ hostel about the same?
Related: found about BeoAbo day pass. Is it applicable for our movements and will it be cost-beneficial?
4. Any other sights in the vicinity we should be visiting?Any other feedback/ tips would be most appreciated.
