The schedule works as Ed says, unfortunately, the SBB site when I looked at it did NOT give accurate information, which surprised me because it is usually reliable. <BR>Your best plan is this: <BR> <BR>Leave Gare de Lyon at 7:44 TGV 9281 <BR>Arrive Bern 12:29 <BR>Leave Bern 13:26 <BR>Arrive Mürren 15:30 <BR> <BR>At Interlaken Ost you change for Lauterbrunnen. <BR>In Lauterbrunnen you walk up a short hill to the furnicular that takes you up to Grutschalp, about an 11 minute ride. <BR>At Grutschalp, you board a small train, about 2 cars maximum, for Mürren. <BR> <BR>The cost to Interlaken Ost at second class fares is 87.05 euros. <BR>About $80.00. <BR> <BR>The cost from Interlaken Ost to Lauterbrunnen is 6.20 CHF, about $3.75 just about .90 franc per kilometer! <BR> <BR>I could not get the whole cost of the trip because the Lauterbrunnen - Mürren section of the trip is on a private line not under Eurail pricing. Neither the Swiss site nor the French site gives that data. <BR> <BR>If the ticket taker on the Grutschalp - Mürren leg is a slender fellow about 5'11" with dark hair and a moustache, ask him if his name is Colin Pearson. <BR>I know him. <BR>
