Wondering what is the best train route from Lausanne to Annecy. I'm not sure if it will apply at all, but we do have a Swiss Pass. Also, is this a train we want to book in advance or not?
Thank you,

Heidi, it's a slightly weird train route from the Montreux and Lausanne areas to Annecy. In general, on the all-train runs, you are routed via Geneva and Aix-Les-Bains to get there. Or, it's a different routing if you have a train/bus run. Trip takes just over 3.0hrs to get there with 1-2 train changes. About the same with the train/bus runs. Your Swiss pass will work up to the border with France. Just show your pass to the agent when you purchase the tickets and they will make the adjustment. If you are online at www.sbb.ch, you can see these various runs but the Swiss website does not seem to show all of the different Swiss passes and cards.
