I think you’d be better buying individual tickets than a pass. Buy the TGV to Paris ASAP, the Engelberg trip later. The others you can get on the day. 9 Jun Airport to Zurich 6.80 CHF - valid for 2 hours, so includes tram/ bus to your hotel in Zurich. Buy from machine at airport 10 Jun Check on sbb.ch for timetables and prices. 172 CHF full price (return) Zurich to Titlis, including cable car. Cheaper for booking in advance. (But reservations not yet open for June) Or buy a Saver Day Pass for 52 CHF (in advance), which covers Zurich-Engelberg, and then pay full price for the cable car from Engelberg (96 CHF I think), which lets you check the weather before you commit to the cable car. 11 Jun Buy individual tickets or 24-hour Zurich pass for 26.40 CHF (maybe use it the next day?). Easy to get from a machine at any tram stop. 12 Jun Zurich to Paris by TGV - currently CHF 50. Buy it as soon as you can commit, this will probably increase. 13 Jun and onwards in Paris - just pay as you go.
Yes that's it ! And you should buy the TGV Lyria tickets for 12th June right now, the 11:34 TGV is quite cheap : 3 x 49€ for the adults and the 17 y.o. youth + 34,30€ for the 11 y.o. child There are only 8 seats left at that price Already booked :)
Okay so they can still get a paper ticket for 30 days, that's great to know. I thought that it was only with a Swiss Travel Pass... At Zurich Airport train station they'll sinply print it for you then @KBT Sorry for complicating everything ! No worries..this discussion helps lot in understanding how this works.. But for now..Saver day pass for adults N junior card for my kid works best
Btw the 17 y.o. youth will pay the same price as an adult in Switzerland and in France I think it depends. For the 11 y.o. I recommend you getting the Junior Card at the first train station counter (Zurich Airport in that case). For 30 CHF the child can travel for free all over Switzerland including up to the Titlis. It'll save you a lot of money ! Let me know if you've got any questions. Thanks for reply.I am little confused after seeing link of Junior card. Do I need to buy swiss pass for myself to buy Junior pass for kid ? Is it valid for one year?I earlier got advice from SBB help email to buy "Day pass for children" , I am surprised they didn't tell me about Junior pass !
To go to Titlis Mountain I first need to go to Edinburgh station I think you mean Engelberg. Can you please help me to understand how Eurail pass works with advance ticket of TGV ? I buy Eurail pass in advance and than while doing advance booking of TGV , I just say I have Eurail pass ? than how my Eurail pass fully refundable works ? A TGV within France or from Switzerland to France has a mandatory reservation, which you will need on top of your Eurail pass. Thanks for your help !
You mean Engelberg? Not Edinburgh? Hence my confusion. Reservations are something completely separate from the pass. There are multiple ways to get them, even before buying your pass. Please check the link below https://community.eurail.com/train-connections-reservations-47/how-to-get-reservations-105/index3.html?postid=37042#post37042 sorry got confused with name...Thanks for your help in this
RER trains are not included what so ever. The passes work not in zones, or something else. They're valid on companies. If a company is participating, you can take any sort of train (or boat) of them. Check the list here: https://www.eurail.com/en/get-inspired/trains-europe/useful-train-information/participating-railway-companies The pass is your ticket on all the trains, and for some you need seat reservations, and for some there are optional reservation. On trains with mandatory seat reservations you cannot board without buying seat reservations before. Mostly in France (TGV) and on Eurostar (Paris London) you'll find trains with mandatory seat reservations. Avoid TGV Lyria, it has extortionate reservation fees. Better take a non-reservable TER train to Mulhouse (Fr) from Switzerland, and than take an ordinary TGV with more moderate seat reservations of 10 or 20 EUR per seat. EURAIL is for non-European residents, Interrail for Europeans. Best reserve Eurostar asap if you plan to g
It covers all regional, local trains and S-bahn (suburban trains) in Zurich, but not trams or buses. It will cover a trip to the airport, for example. I don’t think it covers boats? It doesn’t cover any of your local travel in Paris (except a couple of RER lines, which won’t be that useful). You’ll need to buy a reservation on the TGV to Paris, it it’ll cost you €27. Might be not much more expensive to buy a straight ticket instead of the pass. You could look at a single country pass or Swiss Pass for Switzerland instead of a Global Pass. Not sure where Edinburgh comes in?! To go to Titlis Mountain I first need to go to Edinburgh station from there I can take further Gondola ride. that train ride itself costing me $86. This pass gives me 25% discount on my $96 ticket (ie approx 24) So If i buy this pass , It itself saves me $100 in one day + my TGV train expense . And plus my local travels as well in Zurich. Swiss pass is almost same cost and doesnt cover my TGV ticket. So over all th
Missed out to ask one question ...there are two terms one says Eurail & other says Interrail Passes...is that same ?
