Need help in my Swiss rail planning
-
Hi,
me and my wife will be traveling to Europe during 22nd feb to 10 March 2016. However I’m confused about the railway issues. so I really need help in the planning as is our first time in Europe.
1) I will be entering Zermatt from Paris. So how do I go about getting a ticket and which rail to take. My planning in Switzerland is Zermatt – Lucerne – Zurich – Venice. Will be in Switzerland for 8 days before going to Venice. Planning to get a Swiss Travel Pass 8 days unlimited. So from Paris to Zermatt, where do I change the train? And I just need to purchase the railway fare from Paris to where before I can use my Swiss Travel Pass.
2) then for Zurich to Venice, do I have to pay the fare from Zurich to Milano station , and from Milano to Venice? Or I can use my Swiss Travel pass to take the train from Zurich to Milano for free and just purchase a ticket from Milano to Venice? I’m really confuse about the railways.
as for my itinerary for Switzerland will be
day 1 – tour around Zermatt town after arriving from Paris.
day 2 – visit Matterhorn ( which area is better to view Matterhorn )
day 3 – travel to Lucerne from Zermatt. Tour around Lucerne.
day 4 – travel to Jungfrau region ( which area is better to go ? )
day 5 – travel to Zurich and tour around the city area
day 6 – travel to Rhine falls( not sure if advisable to go there as is winter time, or any other alternatives planning )
day 7 – take a train ride to chur and transfer to Bernina express(scenery viewing) to st mortriz for a day trip before going back to Zurich)
day 8 – leaving zurich to Venice
i hope someone can assist me in the railway issues and also to help to see if the itinerary I plan is it suitable for winter season in Switzerland. Very much appreciated.
from,
Jarrel
