Wich places are excluded from swiss interrail pass?

Ok, I’m not going to Jungfraujoch anyway, so good, I don’t have to worry about that. But about going from interlaken to Lauterbrunnen or Grindelwald, in the Omio app is telling me the train is from Interlaken West… do you maybe know why?? maybe it’s also a bus ticket included? or maybe they are two train so I’m switching at some point https://www.omio.com/app/search-frontend/results/LBF035304998A44C9ACBFC4F8FEB4F325/train?locale=en It looks like Omio replaces the non-specific "Interlaken” with the station Interlaken West and then proposes a journey with a change in Interlaken Ost. For Switzerland, just don’t use Omio. Use the SBB website or app. anyway I will stay in Unterseen, so to reach west is 30 min and ost is 40 min, how much is usually bus ticket for tourist? Please check prices on sbb.ch. It contains all public transport in Switzerland so you can request a journey from/to Unterseen. Just make sure to check the full fare (and not the default half fare it shows).

The train for Lauterbrunnen leaves from Interlaken Ost. You can walk from Interlaken West to Interlaken Ost if you like. The distances is about 2 kilometres.  The expensive trains are those going to up to Jungfraujoch, which is over 100 CHF one way from Interlaken and Schilthorn, which is over 70 CHF one way from Interlaken.  Ok, I’m not going to Jungfraujoch anyway, so good, I don’t have to worry about that.

I can walk but maybe 40 min is too much.. It depend on this I can understand if buying interrail is actually conv

In country info of the passes you can find a long list of which train companies in the Swiss accept passes. Exceptions are most of these short lines that go up the mountains-but most give a discount still-AND the BOB=the trains south of Interlaken-to Grindelwald-Wengen (its with e -with a is in Germany). There is yet another ALTernative-but only if you plan well advance-order Swiss cheap Daytickets via SBB-same valid as Swiss Pass (incl all local transit and the yellow postbuses too), these are -if you do not need more as 3 -4 cheaper as Swiss Tourist pass, but ONLY valid from 9.00 on mo-fr. Note that its easy to check prices on the swiss planner-sbb.com, BUT these are HALF price-for those who already have the HalbTaxKarte-normal/foreign people pay double! So that could make a disastrous mis-calculate. These mountain lines are always outside of all passes-except then the discount. Thank you so much for your reply.About the mis-calculation: the calculation I did is with Omio, a site/ap
