We are staying in Kandersteg for 6 nights, Murren for 5 nights, Zermatt for 3 nights, and Lucurene for 3 nights. We plan to travel between the cities via private car transfers, due to my husbands anxiety with train changes/transfers with our luggage and our college age children. We plan to do a lot of hiking in all of these places and assume we will need to use several cable cars to get to or from hikes, other towns in the area, and to and from Murren from Lauterburren.
I can't figure out if we should buy the BO pass, Juanfrau pass, and/or the half fare pass. Wondering if the convivence of get on any cable car in the area without having to buy individual passes every time is worth the $$$ We do plan to go to Schilthorn one day and a float down the river in Thun. We are moderate hiking level.

I should probably get a commission from these guys but I think they are genuine and helpful. You can watch their (many) vlogs on the intricacies of Swiss passes or even pay them for personalized advice. They can probably help with cars as well.

Thank you!
I have seen all their stuff and purchased their plans, they are amazing !
BUT I have not found anything that talks about passes if you are doing private transfer to a city.
I imagine the cost verses savings changes with each pass if you don’t need them between cities!?!

If you are getting passes anyway maybe helping your husband getting over his train anxiety is better. After all, you won't be able to avoid public transports anyway. And going by car from Mürren to Zermatt will involve several trains no matter what.
Have you priced the private car transfers already?
