Ending a two-week trip to France with a few days in Chamonix at end of October. Instead of backtracking to Paris, would like to take a scenic train trip to Zurich and fly home from there. Can one of you Switzerland experts suggest the best route, please?

You also would have the option of taking a bus through the tunnel to Aosta or Milan, then train
from Milan back to Zurich.
Also, you might get better input from the Swiss experts if you add some info on how long you
want to take to get back to Zurich, whether you want to drive/train/bus, and any budget
considerations you might have.

Thanks! Very helpful. Will have to think on this. Planning overnight in Zurich, then fly out next day. Rome2Rio suggested a 6 1/2 hour train trip, but I was not clear on the route. Wanted to be sure I wasn't missing out on something better.
I may be, but 8+ hours may be just too long. Loved doing the Bernina Express, but we split the trip into two days. Also love Lucerne, but last trip to Switzerland started and ended there when husband had emergency orthopedic surgery!
Your suggestion would be great with an overnight break, but I've probably already stretched my travel companion's days to the max. But you've given me something to work with. Thanks again!
