Are these options, if you stay longer than around 8days really cheaper than a Monats-GA for 440.- CHF? I know its a bit more difficult to get one probably but i guess its still cheaper in many instaces.

Well done! To the first timer the information can seem overwhelming, but just taking one’s time with this video and using the download is very helpful. I’ve traveled to Switzerland 8 times over the last decade and as I tend to go all over and like to make spur of the minute decisions on destinations depending on the weather I’m a big Swiss Travel Pass fan, especially when one considers the convenience of hopping on anytime without having to purchase a ticket beforehand. BUT, the advent of the SBB mobile app in recent years does make that half fare card a game changer if you’re comfortable maneuvering that. Will definitely consider that for future trips. I will note that in July and December of 2021 there was a 25% off sale for the STP, but I hadn’t seen that since 2013, so it was likely an effort to jumpstart travel after the shutdown. (It pays to stalk some good Swiss travel websites). Thanks for a great video!

That changed though, when my hubby kept asking me questions while on the train about an upcoming connection.

Hi guys. Great video. If you're on a budget and arriving at Basel you can also buy the train ticket from German Railwals. Buy the ticket from Freiburg to your destination in Switzerland and it can be significantly cheaper than buying vis SBB. Also, SBB offer the saver day pass. Book 2 months in advance and you can get the day pass coving all the main SBB routes (not mountain railways) from chf29. I always get this pass on my arrival day as it covers you if your flight is delayed and you miss your connection.

Hi Barry, these are great tips! We've never flown into Basel, so we'll be excited to try the German Railways ticket in the future! We have used the saver day passes and found those to be good options for us at certain times. Although, we've often found we get a better deal going to the airport (when we'll be flying out of Switzerland) by booking a saver ticket in advance instead of the day pass. But I love the Day pass option for arrival days (since you never know if you'll be delayed and can benefit from the flexibility!) We appreciate you watching and commenting!

Pretty detailed video guys, thanks for uploading it. I will be travelling to Interlaken last week of July and will be staying in the region for 4 days, during this stay I also plan to visit neighboring cities in the region like Lucerne, Bern and Thun apart from the famous Jungfrau region. So I believe the "Bernese Oberland Pass" should be good option for this as I believe it would include all my travels including boat trips to Thun. Quick question : I also plan to club this pass with the "half fare card" which I believe will help in not only getting discount rates for the "Bernese Oberland Pass" but also to Jungfraujoch as I believe it doesn't cover in the "Bernese Oberland Pass", plus I will be flying into Zurich and travelling to Interlaken via train, where the half fare card can be of help ! Do you guys think this is good option? Also, how should I go about buying the travel pass? should I get the half fare card 1st and then buy the "Bernese Oberland Pass"? and can this all be done via the SBB travel app? thanks again for the video 🙂

Hi Shantanu! Thanks for the great questions! In this case, we absolutely agree that the Half Fare Card + Berner Oberland Pass would be a great option. You will definitely save more money with the HF Card than you spend on it! You first buy the HF Card, and then you buy the BO Pass so you can get the discount. Both can be purchased online in advance, or in the train station when you arrive. We included links for purchasing both in our related blog post: www.aplinsinthealps.com/the-ultimate-swiss-rail-pass-guide/ Hope this helps, and that you have a great trip to this beautiful country!

Or will the Swiss half fare card be our only choice?

@AplinsintheAlps

Great question Dave! The Swiss Travel Pass and Swiss Half Fare Card can all be used year round. Last year, there was a winter pass similar to the Top of Europe pass (www.jungfrau.ch/en-gb/corona-pass-winter/) so hopefully they'll provide that option again. Hope this helps!

Hi, what a great video, but I'm still a bit confused with all the options in our situation. we are with 5: 2 adults, 1 19year old, and 2 kids between 6 -16. We are staying in Wengen for 14 days. We like to do everything in the Jungfrau region, this includes the jungfraujoch and schilthorn. besides that we like to go 1 day to bern and maybe see some more places outside the jungfrau region but all in Berner Oberland region. So I was thinking to buy 3 half fare cards and 3 Berner Oberland region passes + 2 for the younger kids. But is that one for the younger kids necessary, or do they travel for free with us if I get the swiss family card?

@AplinsintheAlps

Жыл бұрын

Hi Jurgen, great question! If you ask for the Swiss Family Card, the two kids under 16 will be fully covered. You won't need to buy a Half Fare Card OR a Berner Oberland Pass for them! They'll ride free with you everywhere, with only two exceptions: the last segment of the Jungfraujoch and the Schilthorn. You'll still need to pay some money for their rides there. Last time I checked, 42.80 francs for the roundtrip between Mürren and the Schilthorn, and 25 francs for the roundtrip between Eigergletscher and Jungfraujoch (confirm that with the rail office though!) Kids under 6 always ride for free. Hope this helps!

@manoni75

Жыл бұрын

For the younger kids the Bo card is only 30 CHF, so I would think the purchase of a half fare card is not necessary for them, nor the purchase of a Swiss family card when you stay mainly in the Berner Oberland region.

The Swiss family card is free if you hold a half fare card or Swiss travel card, so it’s a no-brainer for parents who will be purchasing one of those passes. We also discovered that anyone who plans to buy a regional pass and will be flying to/from Switzerland will actually save money if they buy it in addition to their regional pass!!

@AplinsintheAlps

I wish I had this video 3 months back! It is so valuable for swiss travelers! Would recommend for anyone who travels to swiss. I heard mostly about swiss travel pass but knew others passes exist. I tried to get this info from the corresponding websites but it was difficult. Then I arrived in swiss thinking I will figure it out there. The pass options were truly overwhelming and did the full research which you have in video thereby wasting half day in Swiss just for this. Since my itinerary was flexible but limited to three days in the region and Jungfrau was a must, we decided to get swiss haf fare card for one year with top of europe pass. I would recommend to buy these two if one plans multiple trips to swiss in a year and one of the trips itinerary is restricted to 3 days in interlaken area with Jungfrau. We visited all the places where the top of europe pass was applicable. Bernie's pass is amazing but the area is impossible to cover/ utilize its fully value in three days. Unfortunately its not well advertised. If not for Jungfrau and my duration I would have gone for Bernie's Oberland pass. Also for us from Germany, it was a no brainer to buy one month half fare card as we will plan few more trips to swiss and for extra 65 euros we get one year validity. Half fare one year card can be applied online too by uploading passport and we got a temporary digital half fare card and later the cards were mailed to us to Germany. For our next trips we are planning the swiss super saver day passes 3 months beforehand on top of our 1 year half fare card for travel 😀.

Jason, that's so exciting! International travel has been such a transformational experience for us, and we hope it will be for you as well. Thanks for watching our videos as you plan!

Hi, Thank you for such a thorough and comprehensive video! This really simplified a great deal for me. I have a small request. Would it be possible to share some details regarding the panoramic trains in Switzerland? Any of your recommendations/suggestions/advice would be appreciated!

I watched this video three times which is the equivalent to watching a movie! 😆 The PDF on your website with direct links to the different types of passes was incredibly useful. Thanks, and cheers from LaLa Land, California.

Great video and thanks to your free hard work spreadsheet. Really helpful information for us visiting Swiss. We'll be visiting Switzerland this coming May2023 for 6 nights. Interlaken will be our hub as we visit Lucerne and Zurich a day each then spend the rest in the Jungfrau area. Now I have an idea what passes I'm going to need.

Fantastic! We're so happy to help you find the best train passes that fit your personal itinerary! Happy travels - and be sure to say hi if you see us around Interlaken in May :)

Thank you so much! This has been the most useful video I have come across. iam travelling to Switzerland with my partner in April this year and I have been overwhelmed with the numbe rof various options. Your video breaks it down so well. We are staying 2 nights in Lucerne and 3 in Grindelwald and then going to Lugarno/Como region and definitely want a trip to Jungfraujoch. I also have a Eurail Pass. I am still trying to figure out the best combination of passes and you're video has helped so much! I just need to now decide whether to get the Top of Europe or the Bernese Oberland Pass with the Half Fare pass.

Thank you for your kind comment! We are SO happy that our videos helped you plan your trip! We love helping travelers so we don't plan to stop anytime soon :)

Great video!!!!! I could not believe what I discovered when I was researching rail passes for our trip last year. I thought it couldn't be true. Am I the only person to see this? It's less expensive overall to buy the half fare card first and then the Berner Oberland Regional Pass. Plus!!! Every other ticket you buy is half price!!! Great information!! Love your channel!!

Love of all the helpful info. We are planning to visit in September. Definitely want to go to Jungfraujoch and possible the Shilthorn. What pass would be best ?

Hi both(Guy & Girl), U are doing great informative, useful, colorful Suisse videos ⭐👍

Thank you for your kind compliment! We are so glad you found this helpful!

Great videos- thank you so much for all the research and work done to create them. We are planning on being in the Berner Oberland region for 5 days, with 4 of those days being mountain excursions including Jungfraujoch. Based on your videos and my research, it appears a 4-day Berner Oberland pass along with the half fare card is our best option. We will also be taking train to Zurich on the last day. Would you agree that the BO pass along with the half-fare card is our best option?

Thanks for your videos! They have been super helpful. We plan on going for the first time this March for 8 days. Want to visit Lucerne/grindelewald-latubruen/zermatt/ Lugano. Any ideas for 2-3 home bases? We fly in/out of Zurich. Any advice would be appreciated!!

You had me at mega spreadsheet!

So glad you've found our videos helpful. And we're grateful that you've recommended us to your family! Spring can be hit or miss-this year was really warm, but last year was really cold. If you want to hike above 2000 meters, you probably need to wait until late June to be safe (and some of the mountain railways and gondolas don't run until late May or June, so you'll want to check those schedules). But spring is absolutely beautiful for waterfalls, seeing more snow in the mountains, and less tourists!

Thanks for info on Jungfrau region, certainly a nice area to visit. Any advice for Chamonix and the gondolas there?
