I have read the RS chapter, and done the math on two options for Swiss Travel passes for our short trip to Switzerland. At this point i think i just need some confirmation that my thinking and planning are correct and will give us the best use of purchased passes. Right now i'm considering either the 4 day flexi pass or the 4-day consecutive pass (either way we would have to purchase ala carte tix from Zurich to Lucerne on apr 11 and then Zurich city to airport on apr 16).
Here is our itinerary:
apr 11 arrive Zurich airport, train to Lucerne, 2 night stay
apr 12 in Lucerne, (possible side train trip to Interlaken, or possible boat excursion)
apr 13 train to Lauterbrunnen, 2 night stay,
apr 14 (possible mountain lift up to Jungfrau or Schilthorn) go to Murren?
apr 15 train to Zurich
apr 16 train to airport for return to USA
My question would be, is there any advantage that the 4 day flexi pass would have over the 4 consecutive day pass? Would the boats/buses/mountain lifts be considered use of a 'day' if i understand RS explanation, it sounds as if they are not. It's too bad there is not a 6-day option. Thanks in advance!
