I have read multiple posts and web pages regarding rail passes, but it seems like a lot of info contradicts what I have read previously.

Our itinerary is as follows:

Basel to Interlaken by train

Boat cruise on one of the lakes in Interlaken

Train on to Lauterbrunnen

BO trips would be: Murren, Wengen, Schilfhorn, and possibly Jungfraujoch. We are in L’brunnen 3 nights so weather will determine some of our plans.

Train back to Basel.

Train to Paris.

I know to book the train to Paris EARLY as a point to point. It’s the other trips I am trying to get the best price on. My husband and I will be traveling with another couple, and I am the planner in the group. Our trip is in May.

Thanks so much.

Any advice?

Hi Baandyfan, welcome to MySwissAlps!

I’d consider these 3 options:

1. 4-day Swiss Travel Pass: http://www.myswissalps.com/sw isstravelpass
2. Swiss Half Fare Card: http://www.myswissalps.com/sw isshalffarecard (less convenient but possibly cheaper)
3. Regional-Pass Bernese Oberland, plus tickets Basel to Bern (where coverage of the pass starts): http://www.myswissalps.com/re gionalpassberneseoberl and

To be 100% sure on which option is cheapest, the math needs to be done as explained here: http://www.myswissalps.com/tr ain/ticketspasses/prac tical/chooserailpass

As you said you also need tickets to Paris, and these are best booked early: http://www.myswissalps.com/tr aintickets/france

Does this help you out?
