Where to buy the Swiss Saver Flexi Pass
Hi,
We are group of 4 adults and 3 children planning a trip to switzerland in July. We plan to be there for 10 days. We are planning to visit , Lucerne, lugano,zermatt & zurich. We intend to take day trips from these place to Interlaken & Bern too. Does this schedule seem too hectic for 10days.
Any suggestions on which rail pass will be the most suitable for us. Where can this bought the cheapest. What is the difference between the Swiss Flexi Pass / Swiss Saver Flexi Pass.
Thank u!

The "saver" option generally requires at least two people to travel together at all times.
The cheapest place to buy the pass is from a railroad ticket office once you get to Switzerland. The price of the pass is set by the railrod consortium no matter where you buy it. What drives the price up is/are the various processing and/or shipping fees that agencies such as Railpass.com and Raileurope add on for the convenience of having the product before you arrive.

Whether you like Rick Steves or not, his website has massive information about choosing, buying and using railpasses.
Here is the page with the prices for Swiss passes. His company charges $15 for s/h and includes some freebies.
