Travelling from Paris to Interlaken

Short summary – read this first

Harsh and his family are traveling to Europe in late August and need advice on the best route from Paris to Interlaken. They have purchased a Swiss Travel Pass and want to know how to make the most of it during their trip.

Key takeaways:
  • The fastest route from Paris to Interlaken Ost is via Basel SBB, requiring only a ticket from Paris to Basel SBB.
  • The longer route is through Geneva and Bern, with the Swiss Travel Pass valid from Geneva, so you'll need a separate ticket from Paris to Geneva.
  • Use the Swiss Timetable to effectively plan your journey and check train schedules.

    Hi harsch, and welcome to MySwissAlps!

    >> i am harsh. me and my family(4 of us) are travelling to europe in late august. we have purchased the swiss family card.

    Do you mean you have purchased a Swiss Travel Pass for all adults and children aged 16 or over, and also received a free Family Card to cover children aged 6 to 15?

    >> i wish to know the correct route of travelling from paris to interlaken and what benefits can we avail of the swiss pass along the travel.

    The fastest way from Paris to Interlaken Ost is usually Paris – Basel SBB – Interlaken Ost. Your Swiss Travel Pass would be valid from Basel SBB, and you would need a ticket from Paris to Basel SBB.

    A longer alternative route is Paris – Geneva – Bern – Interlaken Ost. If you took this route, your Swiss Travel Pass would be valid from Geneva, and you would need a ticket from Paris to Geneva.

    You can use the Swiss Timetable to plan your journey:
