Connecting services in Switzerland

Planning a trip to Switzerland? Instead of the usual suspects, why not explore lesser-known but equally stunning Swiss destinations? Here are some of the picturesque towns and cities that you can reach with our through tickets. Bern, Montreux, Neuchâtel and Lake Geneva are all less than five hours away from Paris.

💡 Newsflash. It is temporarily not possible to book journeys that aren’t served by TGV Lyria trains. No need to panic. Go to sbb.ch to book your journey in Switzerland. 

This situation is temporary, and improvements will be made from autumn 2024 before a new system is rolled out in 2025. This new reservation system will make it possible to propose extended offers and fare ranges, as is possible for operators' offers abroad.

Please note: this situation will have no impact on bookings already made on SNCF Connect or at stations, or those that will be made up to 23 May 2024, as they will all be guaranteed.
