I made a look at the Homepage your right. But im not shure if weekends not more open. You should ask.

Depend on the time you got. I had 5h by car from Basel to the Pitztal. You need more time from Interlaken. If your time is limited, you can go to Engelberg thats only 86km (~53miles)km away. www.titilis.ch (They open also the Laubersgrad Chairlift weekends, if there enaugh people and snow.)

It is a single wide open piste on both sides of the chairlift, but quite fun - relatively steep near the top, almost flat towards the bottom. But even if you get tired of skiing, you won't get tired of the scenery!
I'm afraid Tignes is not an option either, it opens for summer skiing on 18th June

It depend on the weather. If the temperey goes up, is the snow at Zermatt shure better. 2. The idea was: to give you an alternativ, if you won't travel to Zermatt. Because with the car is it sh... (You have to drive over lake Geneva or load the Car at Kandersteg on the Railway). With train: Interlaken - Spiez (change the train) - Brig (change the train) - Zermatt.

What's the deal with the rail link down from Kandersteg? The missus's>SatNav wanted us to tunnel through around there as a shortcut to Crans.> I wasn't sure if it was a new tunnel (my atlas is a bit old) but in>the end we didn't take the risk and drove around via the lake.

This tunnel is old. open since 1913. Car transport: Kandersteg - Goppenstein or Kandersteg - Iselle(Italy). Some Route-Planer declare the car transport as Ferry. If you got to Saas Fee or Zermatt you save 1h from Bern.
Any idea on the cost/frequency for future reference?
20-25Sfr one way from Kandersteg to Goppenstein / nomal all 1/2h
