Im planning to go to harder kulm, grindewald first, schynige platte, oeschinensee, panoramic bridge, iseltwald, boat ride to brienz, mannlichen and schilthorn and explore lauteebrunen, murren and wengen. I will also spend a day in zurich.
In my opinion the 4 day Berner Oberland Pass would be better value for your trip than the Half Fare Card. With the BO Pass all the mountain excursions you mention are fully covered except Schilthorn - you pay CHF 42.80 with the BO Pass - but you'd only get 50% off them all with the HF Card. All trains buses and boats in the Berner Oberland are also covered with the BO Pass and for your visit to Zurich you would only need to pay for the Bern/Zurich/Bern or Lucerne/Zurich/Lucerne trip. When you're ready to purchase, I'd be grateful if you'd consider buying your BO Pass or Half Fare Card from our web shop - holidaystoswitzerland.com/shop 😊
How soon can i buy the BO pass if im going this sept? Do you think if i can combine it with a 7 day half fare card i will save more so i can get a discount from zurich to grindewald (our basecamp) on the first day and our trip back to zurich on last day?
You can buy the BO Pass as early as you like as the start date is nominated at the time of purchase. The Half Fare Card can only be purchased for 30 days (not 7). To compare the price of the two options (BO Pass plus regular price tickets Zurich/Grindelwald/Zurich and the BO Pass and HF Card and 1/2 price tickets Zurich/Grindelwald/Zurich) you really need to list the fares for each journey you plan to take and calculate the difference. We have a digital calculator in our online shop that can help you with this if you don't wish to do it manually.
Do you think if i spend 4 days in jungrau region and do all activities except go to the top of europe i can save more with berner oberland pass? or just buy a half fare swiss card?
It really depends what you mean by 'all the activities'. Can you give me an idea of which activities you think you will do in the 4 days and I can give you my thoughts on the Berner Oberland Pass vs Half Fare Card.
