Not really, as there are tourist tickets valid from and to the airports in Switzerland, also no-fare tickets are usually organized by Mario which lowers the cost even more. And you get a ride with the Glacier express which makes up for the time you spend in the train any time :) Don't forget that in Berlin one can lose hours on the tube every day depending on where your hotel is, and their airport situation is currently a real mess. Also the landscape of Berlin is nothing compared to Randa...
