We will be visiting Lucerne and the Murren area of Switzerland in the fall. We will fly into Zurich.
We haven't decided which area to visit first.
Via train, what is the easiest and fastest way to get to Paris after our trip in Switzerland?

Train schedules are here:

From Murren you have to get to Interlaken Ost and go to Bern to get train to Geneva. From Geneva, you would take TGV to Paris.

If you are flying into Zurich, then you would see Luzern first obviously.

And it is BERNESE OBERLAND, not "Murren Area."

Just so you know, if you stay in Murren you have to take train and gondola down (or two gondolas and bus if going down at Stechelberg) to get to the train station in Lauterbrunnen.

Thanks, Pepper.

I know it's Bernese Oberland, I was rushing out to work and got a little sloppy.
Yes, I think we will go to Luzern first.
Does it make sense to go through Geneva instead of Basel?

There are numerous direct trains from Swiss cities to Paris. Check the Swiss rail booking site.

You are correct, it is an hour quicker if you go through Basel rather than Geneva.

thanks.
