We are landing in Zurich and staying in Grindelwald for 4 days then traveling to Munich for 4 days all by train. We will be using trains and cable cars in Grindelwald and trains in Germany.
Our itinerary is
Day 1 Zurich to Grindelwald
Day 2 Lauterbrunner/Muerren
Day 3 Jungfraujoch/Eiger trail
Day 4 Grindelwald First
Day 5 travel to Speyer Germany
Day 6 Travel to Munich
Day 7 Neuschwanstein castle
Day 8 Dachau
Day 9 Munich
Day 10 Munich
Can anyone recommend what rail pass to purchase to get the best discounts on the excursions in Grindelwald and train rides to Munich?
Thanks

Saver day Pass for Day 1
Jungfrau Travel Pass for Day 2-4
Advance nonrefundable ticket for Day 5
Advance nonrefundable ticket for Day 6
Bayern Ticket for Day 7
MVV Group day tickets for Day 8-10, pick zone coverage on where you paln to go each day.
In Switzerland, you might consider a Half Fare Card if you want to go to Piz Gloria from Muerren. That gives a discount on the Saver Day Pass and the Jungfrau Travel Pass, Muerren to Piz Gloria, and possibly Day 5 journey. This costs 120 CHF per person, but gives less than 50% on all except Muerren-Piz Gloria.
PS, I will add that the Saver Day Pass should be purchased as far ahead as possible. It is nonrefundable, but the price increases as others buy them over time. Same for Day 5 & 6 tickets.
