    We will travel from Grindlewald to Zurich and want a scenic non stop or short stop train route, any suggestions, we will have a travel pass? We will stay just one night in Zurich before flying out from there, need a hotel or Air B&B recommendation in Zurich that is reasonably priced and a good location for sightseeing in Zurich and then the train to the airport.
    thanks.

    Hi Rich in Tas,

    Welcome to MySwissAlps.

    There is no direct train service from Grindelwald to Zurich. Take the regional train from Grindelwald to Interlaken Ost and for a scenic route, take the Lucerne-Interlaken Express to from Interlaken Ost to Lucerne (this train runs every hour). Please use the Swiss timetable (https://www.myswissalps.com/travel/public-transport/timetable/) to check train schedules.

    I recommend staying near the Zurich main station (Zurich HB). Trains from Zurich HB to Zurich Airport depart every few minutes and takes on average just 10 mins. You find a list of hotel suggestions here: https://www.myswissalps.com/accommodation/hotels/zurich/

    Kind regards,
    Anna
