Last time we used them, 100 francs each, covered that expense in a couple of train rides.
With the Pass you get half price on basically all public transport (trains, cable cars, boats....)
One town we keep going back to is Murren.

Only way in and out of the village is cable car, no private vehicles. Very quiet.
Because we had half fare passes, we would do things like have lunch in Interlaken.
In the train stations look for the "Drinks of the World" shop, micro-brews from everywhere. |
Once it gets closer to departure and we think we will actually be going (the trips have been canceled the last two years due to Covid) then we will start better planning.
On our last trip, we went to Rome and Paris. When we got there, we stayed put. We walked Rome everyday (never stepped foot on public or private transportation because there was just so much to see on foot.
In Paris we took the underground two or three times. We enjoyed walking and there was so much to see by foot.
Switzerland may be different. Not sure if we are going to go to one town (Pontresina) and just relax or do a train from Zermat to Tirano and stop at cities over night. If we do that, a Eurail pass of some sort may be in order.
Hopefully this Covid crap gets under control. We have 500k frequent flied miles with AA burning a hole in our pocket.
