Hi

We’re planning to travel to Paris, Switzerland (Geneva, Montreaux, Lucerne) and then on to Austria (Innsbruck, Salzburg and Vienna) then back to Paris before returning home.

In Switzerland, we intend to go to Chamonix Mount Blanc; Interlaken Ost, Jungfraujoch (I am still doing my research for day trips). The trip from Montreaux to Lucerne is via Golden Pass.

My question: Given the amount of travelling we will be doing, would Rail Europe be cheaper than Swiss Rail? If we purchase Swiss Rail pass, can we use this travelling between Paris and Austria?

Thanks for the tips in advance!

Regards, Bernie

Hi Bernie,

Welcome to MySwissAlps. A nice trip you’re planning!

I do believe that the international rail pass could be the best option for you, however the detailed math is up to you I’m afraid.

To look into the international rail pass you mention use this link. It has a validity section, providing you with detailed information about it’s validity.

Do the same for the Swiss rail passes available, you might consider the Swiss Travel Pass.

Thanks for the quick response, Steph!

I am pretty sure I will ask more questions as I go about my research.
