Dear Sir,

Towards the end of June 2020 I will be travelling to Switzerland with three grandchildren aged 14, 16, and 18. We will be in Switzerland for five full days and will be touring together all the time. We are all very excited. We will be staying in Lauterbrunnen the whole time and will be making daily trips from there. My questions are…

1. Should we buy Swiss travel passes or maybe only half travel pass? What area does the Jungfrau pass include..does it include Luzern?
2. Does my 14 year old grand-daughter travel free.. can I take out a Swiss Family card? She will be with me the whole time and we have the same family name. I will be her legal guardian during our holiday.
3. If I do buy Swiss travel passes they will not cover us on our fifth day…so what do you suggest for that day? A saver day pass?..and then what with the 14 year old? We have to be at Zurich airport at 18.30 hrs on the Thursday- our fifth day.
4. Is there a discount on the trip to the Jungfraujoch with the the Swiss travel pass?

Thanking you so much for your help.

Yours sincerely,

Ann

Hello Anna,

1. The Jungfrau Pass does not include Luzern: http://www.myswissalps.com/ju ngfrautravelpass/valid ity. 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.

2. The Swiss Family Card won’t work: http://www.myswissalps.com/sw issfamilycard. You need a Children’s Co-travel Card
