Hello!

During my one month trip to Europe this summer, we are stopping in Switzerland for 4 nights. For our trip, we did not buy rail passes as we found that we were able to do it much more cheaply with point-to-point tickets and flights. However, for our Swiss portion of the trip I think a Swiss Pass or a Half Fare Card might pay off, but I'm not sure. I've read the sites carefully but am still a bit confused about the discounts for certain trains such as the Jungfrau or cable cars.

We are all youths, so the Youth Swiss Pass for 4 days or a Half Fare Card is what we would be considering. We arrive in Interlaken, and are then staying 3 nights in Gimmelwald. During our stay in Gimmelwald we will be moving around, taking buses/cable cars to other towns in the area, as well as quite likely taking the train to Jungfrau or the cable car to Schilthorn. We then need to catch a train to Geneva, where we stay for 1 night, and then fly out.

If you could provide me some advice on the cheapest option it would be a great help! Thanks

Sorry! We arrive in Interlaken Ost train station.

You don't tell us from where you will arrive at Interlaken: Bern airport, Domodossola border station, or what?
For Jungfraujoch and Schilthorn (both railways resp. cableways for people who have too much money to spend), the half fare card will probably be the best solution.

What made you pick Gimmelwald for 3 days??? There are so many more interesting places to spent your limited time in this beautiful country
