Paris to Switzerland and Austria – best rail pass?
A traveler is planning a trip from Paris to Interlaken on July 22nd, spending six days in Switzerland before heading to Vienna on July 29th. They are unsure if the Swiss Travel Pass is worth it for their journey and how many days they should purchase. They also want to know if the pass covers travel from Paris.
- The Swiss Travel Pass does not cover train trips outside of Switzerland; you will need separate tickets for travel from Paris to the Swiss border and from Switzerland to Austria.
- To determine if the Swiss Travel Pass is worth it, consider how many train, boat, bus, or gondola trips you plan while in Switzerland.
- Review your itinerary before deciding on how many days of the Swiss Travel Pass you should buy.

Hi drpsp and welcome to MySwissAlps!
None of the Swiss rail passes will cover train trips outside of Switzerland. You will need to buy a ticket from Paris to the Swiss border town (this will depend on your first destination in Switzerland) and then another ticket from a Swiss border town at the end of your trip to Austria.
Deciding on if buying a rail pass for Switzerland – like the Swiss Travel Pass, is worth it, depends on how much train, boat, bus and gondola trips you are planning on making while here (and the areas of the country you are visiting).
If you need help planning your trip in Switzerland look at our pages on:
