Greetings:
We have a scheduled trip to Switzerland which begins on Wednesday, September 18th and concludes on Tuesday, October 1st. Our questions pertain to advantages of the Swiss Travel Pass Flex -6 day vs. the Half-Fare Travel. We're leaning toward the Flex Pass. Our itinerary is as follows:
1) Zürick- visit half day and off to Lucerne
2) Lucerne - stay 3 days (Travel day, schedule a Lucerne boat ride. Schedule a trip to Pilatus on the following day. (Do we still get the discounts to get to Pilatus without losing a flex pass day?)**
3) Lucerne to Interlaken and up to Mürren- stay 4 days. (During our visit do we still get the discounts for additional transportation used on the mountain?)
4) Mürren to Brienz - stay 2 days (Do we have to take our lake boat ride on the same travel day so we don't lose a flex day?)
5) Brienz to Lausanne - stay 3 days (We want to visit Château de Chillon, Montreux, Gruyères and Vevey. Should we pay for these excursions outside of using the Flex Pass?)
6)Lausanne to Bern - 1 day stay
7) Bern to Basel and off to Colmar, France
Thanks in advance for your responses!!!!!!
