This is the ultimate pass you need if you are planning to travel a lot of places like we did. Including trains, buses, ferry and gondola. High mountain gondola and trains give you 50% discount. Like for schilthorn you get 50 for Oeschiensee lake you get 50 for Jungfraujoch you get 25. Overall very economical provided you have planned on travelling like we did. if you want to visit limited places then you can calculate and then choose the pass since it is expensive.

Swiss Half Fare Card is value for money than Swiss Travel Pass as you still can buy Day Travel Pass at half price if buy ticket earlier. Although the purchased card cannot stored in SBB Swiss Transport app, it is still alright to show the digital document saved in phone when requested. Recommend to buy.

The Berner Oberland Pass was one of the best purchases for our Switzerland trip. It made traveling around the Bernese Oberland region incredibly convenient, with unlimited access to most trains, buses, boats, and mountain railways included in the pass. We were able to move easily between destinations like Interlaken, Wengen, Lauterbrunnen, Grindelwald, and Lake Brienz without having to buy separate tickets each time. The pass saved both time and money while giving us the freedom to explore at our own pace. It removed the hassle of planning every journey and allowed us to focus on enjoying the stunning scenery. Highly recommended for anyone spending several days in the region.

The price is very okay because it includes the 360-degree rotating cable car to the top of the mountain. The magnificent scenery is very worth seeing. A truly wonderful experience.

Although it was a packed itinerary, the stunning scenery made it completely worthwhile. Our tour guide, Lars, was exceptional; he maintained excellent time management and provided practical tips that allowed us to experience the very best of Grindelwald and Mount First. The landscapes were breathtaking. Additionally, our driver, Victoria, navigated the roads with great skill. The coach was incredibly comfortable, allowing us to sit back and truly enjoy the beautiful views along the way."
