Swiss Travel Pass

Swiss Travel Pass - Mountain Ranges Covered in Snow

I'll visit Switzerland in November.

  • Day1 : I arrive at Geneva Airport and go to Leukerbad. Stay 1 night.
  • Day2 : I go up to Basel. I'll stay there 3 nights.

Once I go to Basel, I may just hang around. I don't think I will go to other far places like Zurich.

  1. In this case, what would be the best choice of purchasing tickets for transportation? I think "Swiss Travel Pass 3 days" is more expensive than just purchasing train tickets (Geneva - Leukerbad, Leukerbad - Basel). Am I right?

  2. Where can I purchase those tickets? I've searched some websites. However I don't know if they're trustworthy. And I'd like to know if there's any unofficial, but trustworthy and cheaper website. Purchasing tickets online is better than offline, right?
