Yep Mulhouse is also fine but I very rarely see 10€ seat reservations to there (more 20€ seats ofc but really not all the time) while there are often lots of 10€ seats to Strasbourg.
Of course it depends on how long in advance you book
Our travel plan is as follows. Please guide us we should go for Euro rail pass OR Swiss pass. Which will be cheaper.
25/4 to 26/4 - Stay at Paris (coming to Paris from India).
27/4 - Traveling from Paris to Switzerland (Andermatt). Stay at Andermatt for seven nights.
Daily travelling to different locations of Switzerland like
Zurich
Interlaken
Lucerne
Bern
Mt. Pilatus
Titlis
Which pass we should go for considering internal travels of Paris + travel from Paris to Swiss and back to Paris (return flight from Paris) + Internal travels of Switzerland.
Swiss pass OR Euro rail pass (33 countries) ? Please guide.
Buy a 8-day Swiss Travel Pass : 389 CHF per adult (children travel for free).
It is the most convenient pass as it includes all trains, buses, boats, trams and most cable cars. It gives a 50% discount for the cable car to Mount Titlis and Pilatus.
Buy regular tickets between Paris and Basel on sncf-connect.com. It might be cheaper to travel via Strasbourg, it doesn't take longer anyway.
- Paris-Est - Strasbourg 09:25 - 11:11
- Strasbourg - Basel SBB 11:21 - 12:40
78€ 2nd class per person
Then use your Swiss Travel Pass and you arrive in Andermatt at 4pm.
Use SBB app for connections, very convenient.
EDIT The STP covers Rigi which is a very nice day trip too (Arth-Goldau - Rigi cogwheel railway and back via Rigi - Vitznau cogwheel railway + Vitznau - Lucerne by boat
Let me know for other questions.
For the return leg to Paris, it'll be easier to travel via Strasbourg too as there are direct TGVs to Paris CDG Airport. (no need to travel via the city center)
Which day are you going back to Paris ?
