I will probably get a 2nd Class Swiss Flexi-Pass, but want to also check what the point to point tickets would be. Here is my itinerary:
Sept. 10 - Leave Freiburg, Travel to Interlaken
Sept. 11 - Leave Interlaken, Travel to Gimmelwald
Sept. 13 - Leave Gimmelwald, Travel to Lucerne
Sept. 15 - Leave Lucerne, Travel to Innsbruck

I was able to find a fare for the first leg, which in Switzerland I think would be from Basel Bad to Interlaken for 30 CHF, but after that I was not able to get the fare for any of the other legs. I am so frustrated and feel very stupid. Can't figure out how to get the fare without putting in all the information to purchase the ticket. I can get the schedules but not the fares. Grrrr! Please help! PalenQ, where are you? But I would appreciate help from anyone.

You would look for the Frieburg fares on the German train website, bahnde.com. For Interlaken on the Austrian train website, oebb.at. Only your tickets within Switzerland would be covered by a Swiss pass. You should be able to find those prices on sbb.ch.

I am very confused. First of all I said that I was able to get the fare for the first leg of the trip, which was from Basel Bad to Interlaken for 30 CHF. It was the other legs of the trip I could not get the fare for.

And why would I look on the Austrian train website for the fare to or from Interlaken. Last time I was there, Interlaken was in Switzerland.

Sorry. I was at work and not paying enough attention to the location (was thinking Innsbruck). Look on sbb.ch. That is the Swiss rail site. All fares should be there unless they haven't loaded summer schedules yet and you are trying to search those dates (after 2nd weekend in June).

To get the fares, try putting in dates that are 3 months out; the schedules and fares should be approximately the same in September. If it is like the Deutsche Bahn site, you'll be able to buy tickets at the special fares 92 days before.
(I have no experience with the swiss rail site; just going by how the DBB site works.)

For all fares and timetables within Switzerland and from Switzerland to Innsbruck, have a look at
http://fahrplan.sbb.ch/bin/query.exe/en
http://www.myswitzerland.com/en/home.html
http://www.swisstravelsystem.ch/en/

As everybody knows, the Swiss timetables are always valid from December until next December (since many years). The draft for the timetable valid from December 2013 until Decmber 2014 is actually on the web, but the final version will be published in October only.

Go to the ticket shop on www.sbb.ch

Choose your journey, enter any text in the passenger name field and the price will appear.

Tickets won't be on sale for September so choose another date to get an idea of the price.
