Travelling to Switzerland by train

Sally Broom (left), founder of responsible travel website Your Safe Planet, shares her experience of travelling to Switzerland overland...
I was invited to a business conference in the far eastern part of Switzerland, which was a great honour - except for the fact I have pledged to give up flying to anywhere in Europe that can easily be reached by train. Having spent days trying to work out the best route, I phoned Jamie Andrews, founder of Loco2, and, after a 30-minute call, booked the tickets through Rail Europe.
I am still under the age of 26, which in Europe means you qualify for youth tickets. So I was quite chuffed when the ticket price for the return journey came to only £50 more than the airfare - including transfers.
