Here is our itinerary in September:
Train from Bern to Zermatt.
Three days of hiking and exploring Zermatt.
Train from Zermatt to Paris via Zurich.
Train from Paris to Bayeux.
Two days around Normandy.
Train from Bayeux to Paris.
We're thinking about taking the TGV Lyria (hi speed) train from Zurich to Paris as it goes straight through with no other train connections to worry about. Are there passes that also cover the cost of the gondolas in Zermatt?
I've been reading other posts and was directed (thank you) to the SBB website where my confusion was only enhanced! It appears the "Half Fare Travel Card+ might be the best option but I'm not sure it provides reduced fare on the gondolas around Zermatt and I don't think it provides a discount on the Zurich to Paris train.
"EU Rail Pass" or "SBB Half Fare Travel Card+" or ?????
