Good Day

I’m traveling to Zurich from 29/12 to 31/12, would like to know if it’s worth to take the Swiss Travel Pass or a Day Saver is enough? And if I tave the Swiss Travel Pass, how do I buy the TGV to Paris with discount?

We are 4 people and this is our plan so far:

29/12- 1st day. from Zurich airport to Zurich old town (hotel). Take train to Bern or Lucerne (round trip same day). Spend evening in Zurich

30/12 – 2nd day. Train from Zurich to Grindelwald (round trip), checking out few cities on the way.

31/12 – 3rd Day. Leave Switzerland. Train from Zurich to Paris.

Thank you so much

Hi Mariakatia1 and welcome to MySwissAlps!

Great, that you are coming to visit Switzerland.

You’ll find a useful guide with a calculation spreadsheet, which helps you to choose your rail pass in 5 steps at http://www.myswissalps.com/tr ain/ticketspasses/prac tical/chooserailpass. The downloadable spreadsheet also includes links to the “Where it’s valid” page for all available passes, be sure to study it carefully.

Regarding the train to Paris, you’ll find great tips at http://www.myswissalps.com/tr aintickets/france. If you have the Swiss Travel Pass you need to buy your ticket just from the border to Paris.

Thank you!

Having a look to your links, i might get the Eurail Global Pass instead, do you think it is a good idea?

I believe I can travel inside Switzerland and get some discount from Basel to France, I didn’t find this answer yet.

Thank you

Eurail Global pass covers all of central mainland Europe so should be valid on all the journeys you list (but only 25% discount beyond Interlaken to Grindelwald)

Hello Mariakatia1

“29/12- 1st day. from Zurich airport to Zurich old town (hotel). Take train to Bern or Lucerne (round trip same day). Spend evening in Zurich”

If you visit Bern and return to Zurich on the same day, you’ll be spending more time travelling.Why not stay in Bern overnight and visit jungfrau region including Grindelwald the following day and return to Bern?

On the last day you can return to Zurich via Luzern to take the train back.

Anyway it is up to you.If I were you I’d work it out that way..
