Train from Geneva to Zurich

Check schedules and fares at the Swiss Rail site: rail.ch It's a 2.5 hour direct journey (there are additional connections via Bern). The last train out of Geneva is at 10pm, but Swiss Rail often has special late-night trains after big events like this to get people home. But to avoid the stress I would stay overnight in Geneva and head to Zurich the next morning.

Lenny, As mentioned in the previous reply, the shortest time on that route is 2H:43M via direct train. However, the time will vary depending on which train you choose. There appear to also be night trains on that route, with travel times exceeding 7 hours. Those usually have changes and layovers, sometimes at dreadful times in the "wee hours" of the morning, so taking a day train would be far preferable! The current fares are as low as CHF 42.00, which is currently about US$ 46.25 (the actual cost will depend on the exchange rates at the time). Happy travels!

That "current low fare" of 42 CHF is the half-price fare. You have to buy a Half-Fare Card for 110 CHF to get it. Regular fare with out it is 84 CHF (actually I see prices of 44/88 for March travel). The website is tricky because it shows the half-fares as the default option.

Thank you all sooooo much for your feedback!! Much appreciated!!
