    Hi Arno looks like some great discounts. Q: Can I use the 15 day in 2 months ticket of the Global pass, even though I’m going to Switzerland and Italy only? Or do I have to use the 1-4 country ticket?

    Hi Arctic Wolf,

    If that works out cheaper for you then you certainly can. It’s up to you if you use the Eurail Global Pass in one country or all over Europe.

    Hi Arno,

    as i will be travelling to some countries in europe for around 2 weeks (Switzerland, France, Prague, Italy, Vienna, Belgium) including spending around 4 days in Lauterbrunnen/Grindelwald (and perhaps also to Jungfraugoch); will Eurorail global pass (2 weeks in 2 months time) be useful to use in switzerland too? Am i correct that all the inter city/town train will be covered with the pass except the one to jungfraugoch?

    thanks in advance for the explanation

    Hi Ichasoepeno,

    If you click on Arno’s links on his first post for the rail pass you want and then click the “where it’s valid” tab you can see a PDF map that shows the routes that are covered in Switzerland.

    I am new to this but have a trip planned in which we land in Paris, but want to get over to Zermatt or other Swiss city. I thought my best option would be 5 night over 2 months pass for 2 countries. However, before buying, I tried to get a reservation from CDG Paris to Basel, and it said this pass would not work and to just buy a ticket. Is that the case? And what would you suggest I buy if we plan to go from paris to switzerland, stay in a couple places in switzerland, and then have to get back to CDG paris for our flight home. Trip is in February.

    Hi NateSecor, welcome to MySwissAlps!

    You should be able to obtain a reservation as a Eurail pass holder. However, a Eurail Pass is rarely the cheapest choice if you don’t travel frequently in all countries covered by the pass. If you only have two trips in France (from and to Paris), you might as well buy regular tickets with reservations included: http://www.myswissalps.com/tr aintickets/france. Additionally you may or may not need a pass for Switzerland, but you first need to plan your trip in detail: http://www.myswissalps.com/tr ain/ticketspasses/prac tical/chooserailpass
