Hi Allan,

Wengen to Milan can be done by train via Spiez, Brig and Domodossola. Flying would be a detour and take more time.

I am assuming you'll be visiting Zurich to explore town, local museums, etc., so you don't need a rail pass there. I would propose the following tickets/passes:

• A ticket from Paris to Zurich. See raileurope-world.com/ train/tgv-lyria or myswissalps.com/ traintickets/france/ price to see all purchase options;
• A Swiss Transfer Ticket Combi. This includes the trip to Wengen, and from Wengen to the Swiss border (Domodossola), and a 50% discounts on tickets for day trips from Wengen. See raileurope-world.com/ pass/swiss-transfer-ticket-half-fare, or myswissalps.com/ swisstransferticket/pr ice for all purchase options;
• A ticket from Domodossola to Milan. See raileurope-world.com/ train/italian-international-trains or myswissalps.com/ traintickets/ italy/price for all purchase options.

As for Italy: you may be better off with an Italy Pass, but you would have to do the math to be sure. If you choose a pass you don't need the last ticket, but you do need a seat reservation.
