We (2 adults and 2 fifteen year olds) will be in the Berner Oberland for two days as part of a multi-week European excursion. We have Eurail global flexi passes. Can we buy Swiss junior travel cards for the teens? If so, does this make travel for them free from Interlaken up into the mountains, including all the way to the Schilthorn?
Yes you can buy Junior Cards for 30 CHF each. They will get free travel when you are using a ticket, but not with your Eurail Pass ( so OK beyond Interlaken).

The Junior Card is valid in the same area of validity as the Half Fare Card, Somthat should include the Schilthornbahn ( since the parents will buy tickets for that).
