In principal it does not really make a lot of sense to choose Gimmelwald as a base in order to explore the wider Jungfrau-region, BUT some people do it anyway, because of the cheap accomodation-prices, because of the mis-understood recommandations by Rick Steves or what-ever other reason. For them this might be the best train-deal for the area :
"REGIONALPASS BERNER OBERLAND" is certainly the best pre-paid train-ticket in case that you intend to TAKE ALL OF THE MOST EXPENSIVE COGWHEEL-TRAINS and cablecars in the area around Grindelwald, Wengen, Muerren, Lauterbrunnen, Brienz, Interlaken etc.
The "Regionalpass Berner Oberland" is valid for 7 (224,-sfr) or for 15 days (270,-sfr) and during 3 or 5 of these days you may use the ticket for UNLIMITED travels, (only for the ticket Kleine Scheidegg to Jungfraujoch you pay 50 sfr extra and for Muerren to Schilthorn 30 sfr extra.)

These tickets are for 7/15 consecutive days, BUT you may choose any 3 (or 5)of these days for unlimited travels by yourself - you simply stamp your ticket at any trainstation into a machine on these days and take any train you like.
During the rest of the days you pay half of the ordinary prices.

This ticket includes also all trains, the bus and ships around Brienzersee and Thunersee, trains even till Brig, Lenk i.S., Adelboden, Meiringen, Gstaad and halfprice all days to Zermatt, Luzern, Bern etc... It includes also Brienzer Rothorn and Stockhorn.

I had this ticket with 7 days and could save a lot of money, although I had only 3 days with excellent weather
