How to deal with buying a ticket if I'm a first time in Switzerland?

Nozisea23

Hello. I’m a tourist, coming to the Switzerland for the first time in February for 2 days only. I’ve be travelling a bit from Zürich, to Rapperswil, to Lauterbrunnen and back to Zürich. I’m trying to understand how to buy the SBB tickets online, what price should I choose: a Point-to-Point ticket or a Saver Day Pass, because it’s chosen by default when I try to book a ticket?

Hello Nozisea23

If you travel from Zurich to Lauterbrunnen and back to Zurich on the same day, a Saver Day Pass is a good idea. Note that such passes are not refundable and you need a full price pass without the Half Fare Travelcard. You can find more details here:

If you travel only from Zurich to Rapperswil SG on the same day, you can buy a ZVV day pass by selecting a return ticket.

Kind Regards

And a hint:
With a Saver Day Pass you could continue from Lauterbrunnen with the bus to Stechelberg, take the world’s steepest cableway to Mürren, the train to Grütschalp and another cable car back to Lauterbrunnen.
