The train journey is around 2 hours each way. Price is roughly CHF 120 return. You can buy a discount pass that gets a 50% reduction - worthwhile if you will be doing a reasonable amount of travelling in Switzerland.

Make sure you choose a nice day - it's a lot of money if you only see the inside of a cloud at GE top.
