Answer 1

zurich flughafen to interlaken ost: 2nd class 49CHF, 1st class 81.00
zurich flughafen to grindelwald: 2nd class 58.80CHF, 1st class 97.20
(prices are for single trip; round trip tickets are double the price.)

unless you're planning a lot of train travel (meaning everyday), then it's not worth buying something like Swiss Pass. a 8 day SP Youth Pass (for people under 26yrs) is 272CHF on 2nd class. so if you're staying in interlaken or grindelwald for the entire week, it wouldn't really be worth it. with SP, you get half price on cable cars, special trains (eg, Jungfraujoch), etc., but it's all inclusive for all normal trains. though keep in mind that other than the Jungfraujochbahn (costs like 150-160CHF), the other trains/cable cars in the region aren't that expensive. you need to do the math and figure out what's the cheapest, because it's based completely on how many train rides you're planning to take. go to www.sbb.ch/en, and you'll be able to calculate price, find itinerary, times, etc.

i think you can do better than $270 from switzerland to paris via train. remember, countries in europe are pretty close together, and that's reflected in the airfare. i've seen flights from Dusseldorf, Berlin, etc to Zurich for as low as $120, so check the prices online. flying will likely be cheaper (especially with low cost carriers), and you'll get there faster too.

Answer 2

You can also take Easyjet between Geneva and Paris. Can be cheaper and surely faster. If you plan a lot of train rides in Switzerland, take the Swiss train pass. It's probably not worth buying the EuroPass because the only international train you make take is France-Switzerland. Trains are not necessary so expensive too. Check the website I give to you.

Answer 3

Always buy a Europass if you have the option, they are much better value. My first trip to Europe I made the mistake of buying tickets individually and ended up spending like twice what i had to.

But be aware of the resctricions of on your ticket. I had friends who ended up with problems using their passes because it didnt meet certain critieria.
