traveling in Switerland

We r hiking the Swiss alps for sure. We going to hike hut to hut. And go to the Jung region for the day to see the glacier. I know there a long drive ride there. But we are hiking most near interlaken area mostly. We r flying into Munich and taking the trains to interlaken then Venice and along the way to Rome. Flying back home from Rome.

We always ask for more info. From your other post about travel to Venice, are you flying open jaw return from Venice or return from Munich? How much travel on trains while in Switzerland? The Jungfraubahn regional trains out of Interlaken may only be covered by your pass at 50%. Even I get confused reading the fine print of the 2-for-1 offer. You should contact RS travel department to make sure what is and what isn't covered. As always, when you know exactly where and when you want to go, it is easier to make the optimal monetary decision. If you just want to wing it, you may spend a little more money, but then the freedom to do things on the spur of the moment has its own compensations.

Here are 2 websites to get familiar with: www.sbb.ch Swiss rail, and www.trenitalia.com Italian rail. You can get a regional train from Zurich airport to Interlake for only 26 chf per person. You can also go Interlaken to Domodossola for 26 chf per person. And Domodossola to Venice for 18.3 Eu. So you could conceivably cover every thing except local trains in Switzerland for about $77 per person. There are a lot of caveats doing this, one ticket from SBB and a separate ticket from Trenitalia, you may have to get off at Domodossola and wait 5 minutes for a regional train to Milan, and you won't be protected if the Swiss train is delayed (I know its a Swiss train, but it does happen occasionally). I'll sign off by saying there a lot of ways to save money by careful planning, or just suck it up, get a pass and enjoy your holiday.
