Hello,

We are family of 4 planning to take a train from Paris to Switzerland and spend about 12 days and return to Paris from where we will take a train back to London as final destination.

Planning to visit Zurich, Bern, Interlaken, Lucerne and if time permits Montreux and Geneva. Will take a train back to Paris from Geneva hopefully.

Thinking of buying a Swiss Travel pass as I am assuming this will be more economical than getting tickets on a day-to-day basis to travel around and also for scenic tours.

Will this Swiss travel pass cover tickets for the train from Paris to Zurich and from Geneva to Paris? Or I should buy different tickets for these trains on SBB?

Or would it make more sense to rent a car for 4? Any help or useful information is highly valuable.

Thanks,

Bhoons

Hello Bhoons

Thank you for your request.

No, the Swiss Travel Pass is not valid abroad. For the route to/from Paris you need a separate train ticket. You can solve this via sbb.ch

With the Swiss Travel Pass you can travel on any train in Switzerland (note: reservations for Panorama trains). You also get great additional benefits and discounts with the Swiss Travel Pass.
You can find all the information here. I also recommend that you take a look at the FAQ.

I wish you a wonderful stay in Switzerland.
Greetings ZoeS
