Your other post asks about Lausanne. Is it Lauterbrunnen or Lausanne or both?

Look it up on http://sbb.ch (Swiss Federal Railways).
Lauterbrunnen to Annecy is possible by train, but it takes nearly 6 hours and 4 changes, mainly because you have to go round Lake Geneva and you have to take a bus from Genève Cornavin station to Annemasse, because the Swiss and French rail networks do not connect in Geneva. From Lauterbrunne to Geneva there is a good train service (it is Switzerland!).
Lausanne to Annecy takes less than 3 hours, but still has the problem of having to go round Lake Geneva and get a bus from Geneva.
