 Poster: A snowHead
|
Just wondering if anyone can suggest the best way of getting 4 people + 1 set of skis and 1 snowboard from Basel to Grindelwald. The train is around £100 each return from what I can work out... just wondering if there is a cheaper way? We are going on 28th January and returning on the 31st, so just a long weekend trip.
Thanks!

Renault Megane estate, rental from Basel Airport Swiss side, £140. Or a Skoda estate, £160.
I'd prefer to go by train, though - scenic and relaxing!

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I've done the journey from Basel airport to the Jungfrau resorts using the swiss transfer ticket many times. It currently costs about £85 for the return journey from any swiss airport to any swiss resort, so it includes the bus from the airport to Basel station (just make sure you've filled in the date of your outward journey on the ticket before you start your journey from the airport). If you pick the right train at Basel station you can get on a service which goes directly from Basel through to Interlaken Ost, where you change onto the local train to Grindelwald. The SBB website has details of the train times.

You'll need to Register first of course.

As @Alastair Pink & others say the rail transfer tickets are excellent, but as there are 4 of you car hire at Basel is very cheap.

Depends on ages, as @trickygibbon, said if any are under 16 they can go free accompanied by a swiss transfer ticket holder but you need to fill out the transfer ticket order with the correct number of adults and under 16's at order time, however if there are more than 2 adults in the party car hire is probably the best option, check that your accomodation in Grindelwald has parking though or you will have to add that into the cost
