Some friends and I are traveling from Germany to Switzerland ! We want to spend 2 night in Zurich, 2 nights with cool train ride in Zermatt! 2 nights in Geneva with an over night in Paris before heading back to Germany! What is the best pass for us to buy that will let us get around town plus scenic rides!? Any thoughts of reasonable hotels?

Thanks for any help

Hi Sharron!

What are your mean reasons to visit Switzerland, and what do you expect to do/see, apart from scenic rides? The reason I ask is because you selected two towns that are not in the mountains (Zurich and Geneva). While these are nice towns to explore, I would personally not pick them for a short first time visit.

Hand picked hotels can be found here:

• myswissalps.com/zurich/hotels
• myswissalps.com/zermatt/hotels
• myswissalps.com/geneva/hotels

Tips on how to plan can be found here. A rail pass can be selected once you have a detailed itinerary. Right now I would say that a Swiss Travel Pass suits your needs.

I am not an expert on Paris, but one night there hardly leaves any time for sightseeing, while you spend a lot of time to get there. Wouldn’t it be better to add that time to Switzerland, or have an extra day in Paris?

Well, these are my thoughts; I hope it’s useful!

Thank you so much for the info! So far the only part of the trip that was my pick was the train ride and Zermatt stay! But with more input maybe able to change some minds! I would love to see Lucerne!

time is on our side, so you never know!

thanks again
