Head over to http://www.rail.ch for schedules. To Gstaad, it's a 3 hour journey with changes in Bern and Zweisman.

Thanks! I see that part of the route from Zurich to Gstaad is on the Golden Pass route. So we may do that.

Carole, To answer the second part of your question, travel by train from Gstaad to Paris is a bit lengthy, but not unreasonably so. The shortest trip I could find was 6H:07M with two changes in Montreux and Lausanne (schedules subject to change of course). The last leg from Lausanne to Paris Lyon via TGV is quite pleasant, as I recall (especially at 300 kMH). I usually research my rail trips on either the German Rail website, or those of other countries. Happy travels!
