    Hi Vivian, and welcome to MySwissAlps!

    The best choice also depends on your day trips, like what you will be doing while in Zurich, Lucerne, Interlaken and Zermatt. At first glance a 4-day Swiss Travel Pass (day 2 to 5) may work, as there are other options (like a ZürichCARD) for day 1 in Zurich. Also you would need a ticket to Italy.

    The above links provide more information. You can also take a look at these instructions if you’re unsure about which pass to pick.

    “It was amazing, Switzerland is small but so much to see and it can be overwhelming to try to plan a weeks holiday and feel able to get the balance right. Our itinerary met all our requests. Annika’s personal approach is a breath of fresh air.”
