My family and I (2 adults, 4 kids ages 10,8,7 & 4 at time of travelling) are headed to Europe mid-October to early December 2024. I am attempting to plan some travel throughout Switzerland, France & Germany avoiding many connections and for the most cost effective way. I don’t know whether to go for a Eurail global pass (10 day/2 months) or purchase individual train journeys. Any advice with the itinerary below would be greatly appreciated.
Via raileurope.com (dates for travel not yet available as yet, prices based on times in March 2024) prices for 2 x adults, 4 x children
October 14: Zurich - Interlakken direct $259
October 24: Interlakken - Paris 1 change $550
Ocotber 30: Paris - Strasborg direct $550
Novemeber 30: Strasborg - Munich direct $370
Total $1730
Whilst this way isn’t as cost effective as 2 x adult Eurail global passes ($1414) I am unable to book the equivalent journey from Interlakken - Paris without it taking more than 24+hrs and going through 4-6 different countries. Is the itinerary above possible via a Eurail pass?
Any advice appreciated.
