Travel plans, routes and timetables / Which Train Pass for France and Switzerland?
« on: February 05, 2011, 10:20:08 am »
I am trying to figure out which train pass to purchase. Do we need the Swiss Saver Pass, the two country Eurail Pass, or just point to point tickets? My family of 5 will be traveling to Europe in May. We fly into Paris and will catch a train to Luzern, Switzerland the same day. While in Luzern we would like to do the Golden Roundtrip to Mt. Pilatus one day, and another day take a train to Interlaken / Jungfraujoch (weather permitting). If the weather does not cooperate that day we will possibly take the train to Gruyere, etc. On our final day in Switzerland, we will return by train to Paris for several days. Approximately 3 of these days we will be taking the train for day trips outside of Paris. We will have 3 adults and 2 youths (under 26). I am looking for the most economical way to do this and am quite confused as to which pass would be our best option. Thank you for any help!
