I am a single travelor in Lauterbrunnen for 2 1/2 days in September and weather permitting would like to spend one day taking the train to Jungrfrau and the next day the lift on the Shilthorn side. I will also be hiking and exploring the towns on my way down. I already have my 3 country railpass, but have been unable to find the most economical option for buying lift tickets. Can anyone help? Thanks

According to the Schilthornbahn website, your Eurail pass will bring the cost of a roundtrip (from Stechelberg) from 94.80 CHF down to 71.20 CHF. And the cost of the Jungfraujoch trip from Lauterbrunnen is 124.60 with a Eurail pass, instead of the full price of 165.80. That is about 195 CHF total for the 2 rides. I don't know of any pass that will bring the cost down enough to cover the additional cost of the pass. That is, a Half-Fare Card will bring the total cost of the 2 rides down to around 130 CHF, but you have to add 110 CHF for the card, so the total is more than the 195 CHF you pay with just your Eurail pass.
