Travel by TGV Lyria between France and Switzerland:
Eco-friendly travel
When it comes to being kind to the planet, the train remains the best way to travel. Of course a journey with TGV Lyria emits a lot of CO² into the atmosphere, but it’s a lot less than both the plane and the car. It’s what’s known as “slow tourism” and is more in line with the concept of sustainable development.
What’s more, travelling by train allows you to take in the scenery floating past the window. Take the time to admire the mountains, the Swiss Plateau and the quaint little villages. You’ll immediately feel more relaxed.
Four key destinations
Depart from Paris Gare de Lyon and reach Geneva in just three hours with TGV Lyria. Continue direct to Lausanne, Basel and Zurich in four hours.
That’s not all: the TGV Lyria offer is also valid on SBB connections to ten other destinations in Switzerland including Bern, Neuchâtel, Lucerne and even Montreux.
During the summer, a daily return connects Marseille and Geneva via Aix-en-Provence, Avignon and Lyon. So, would you rather practice your French, German or Italian?
Three fares for the same adventure
In order to cater to all budgets, our TGV Lyria offer has three fares. If you fancy a top-of-the-range experience, then the BUSINESS 1ère offer is for you. You’ll have a seat in first class, complete flexibility on your booking and can take advantage of a selection of premium services. What’s more, the fare remains the same depending on the destination.
The STANDARD 1ère fare is a great alternative which guarantees you a seat in first class, full or partial flexibility and access to the SNCF Grand Voyageur lounge at Paris Gare de Lyon.
Those on a budget and those who book their trip well in advance will appreciate the STANDARD fare. This option gets you a seat in second class and includes three levels of refund and exchange options. All fares can be booked up to four months before departure.
Continue benefitting from the advantages of your discount card
Your cards and season ticket advantages can be used on TGV Lyria. Regardless of which Carte Avantage you have (Jeune, Famille, Week-end or Senior), you can continue to use it.
For example, with the Carte Avantage Senior, you will get 30% off your own ticket and 30% off that of an additional adult. You will also get up to 60% discount for one, two or three children aged between 4 and 11 who accompany you. Pretty handy if you’re travelling with grandchildren!
The Carte Liberté is also valid on TGV Lyria trains. You get a minimum of 40% discount. That’s not to mention Lyria’s own special offers - keep an eye out for discounts all year round. With Lyria, your trip isn’t going to break the bank.
