"If the good life is what you're after, a trip from Zurich to Geneva is really second to none. So go ahead and explore the wonderful country of Switzerland. You want to sleep a little bit on your way to Geneva? It's a good idea so you can grab a seat in the quiet car if you want to relax a little bit. The quiet car prohibits the use of your cell phones, radios or any other distraction but please, always make sure you follow the rules. It's really important in Switzerland. A conversation of course is still allowed, but just keep quiet. Decide on the route you'd like to take on the way to Geneva. While the fastest trip will take you on a more northernly road through Biel, a more scenic route will take you right through the heart of the Alps and Interlochen. Direct travel through Biel will take a little less than three hours. The more scenic route will be closer to six hours. Look at the train options available and determine which is best suited for your style of travel. At close to three hours on the quickest route the trip is just long enough to warrant a first class upgrade if you have the means. On this trip first class will run about fifty dollars more than second class. Visit the English language version of the Swiss Railway website, enter your departure and destination city in the appropriate boxes. Enter Interlochen, Aust in the buyer field below the destination box if you'd like to take the long route through the mountains."
