Hi Sandyah,

I agree that the 8-day Swiss Travel Pass would fit your plans well. The only other option I see is the Swiss Half Fare Card. This is less flexible as you would have to buy tickets for each trip, but all in all it might be slightly cheaper. You'd have to do the math to be sure.

The Swiss Travel Pass basically includes all city to city traveling, including the trip to the Rheinfall. Attractions like mountain railways are included, although some are free as well. Please see the Where it's valid section of our Swiss Travel Pass page. It includes the major attractions, and also has a downloadable map with all the details.

The Swiss Travel Pass also includes many museums, and boats as well (you may want to include a boat trip on the first day in Zurich). You can print the pass at home through several websites listed here.

From Geneva, you can take the TGV Lyria to Paris. Tickets can be booked through any of the sites listed here.
