Travelling around Switzerland/Austria

[joannie10]

Hi there, I know with a bit of work I will find this information but struggling a bit to get a definate answer from the Swiss Train Service so I wondered if anyone had done this kind of trip and could offer any advice. In June I am travelling(with a few days stop everywhere), from Geneva to Vaduz(Leichtenstein) to Salzburg to Vienna to St Moritz to Zermott and then back to Geneva. Prices etc are not clear and I was in Geneva last week and the train advisor could not really recommend what was best(!?!) so I wondered would anyone know if for those journeys we would be best buying individual train tickets or a Swiss Pass or Euro Pass!? Any help appreciated. thanks

Hopefully you find some info on here

Switzerland is also listed on the left menu. If you have any queries, e mail Mark (link at the top of the page). He has helped me out with trains in Spain.
