Heading to Switzerland in Sept '26, and have been looking over all the different pass options. I know this topic has been discussed, but when I try and figure out what works best specifically for our plans, I get overwhelmed and could really use help from those who have had more experience with this.
We will be there for 6 days (2 people),staying in Lauterbrunnen, and not including possible changes/skipping something, due to weather (which I understand could happen), these are the areas we would like to see...
Zurich airport to Lucerne to Interlaken/Lauterbrunnen via Luzern-Interlaken Express.
Murren/Gimmelwalk/Schilthorn
Grindelwalk/Grindelwald First/Skywalk
Mannlichen
Schynige Platte/Wilderswil
Lake Brienz
Then we will take the train from Lauterbrunnen/Interlaken to Basel (I believe this would be through Bern?)
When trying to calculate all of it, I think the Berner Oberland pass and the Half Fare Pass would cover most of this in the best way possible, but I'm not sure.
Would greatly appreciate any input for this first timer!

That would work, assuming 6 days means 5 nights.

Thank you for your reply. Yes, 5 nights, 6 full days (our last day we catch the 4:30 train). So, the Berner Oberland and half fare passes would be most economical?
