Hi Felice,

It is best to start by reading our information pages on those rail passes. They explain prices, how to buy them, validity and how to use:

• Eurail Global Pass
• Eurail Select Pass
• Swiss Travel Pass

Usually, the Eurail Passes need to be used fairly regularly in several countries to make them worthwhile – sometimes it doesn’t work out economically if you are only using a train to enter or exit a country. But that isn’t always the case – especially with long distance trains that sometimes are quite expensive.

You’ll get good use out of a 8 day Swiss Travel Pass it looks like. You could do that for Switzerland and a Eurail Select Pass for the other 3 countries (or just point to point tickets).

The only way to know for sure which pass is the best for your specific itinerary is to add up the ticket costs and do the math vs. rail passes. We have a page here to help: How to choose the best rail pass.

Please note you can’t visit the Matterhorn itself ( Mar.13). I think you might be looking at the Klein Matterhorn?
