About the trip

This carefully designed itinerary combines Italy’s cultural richness with Switzerland’s breathtaking alpine landscapes, all linked by some of Europe’s most iconic and scenic train journeys. Your journey begins in Rome, where ancient history, grand piazzas and world-famous landmarks set the tone. From the Eternal City, you travel by high-speed train to Florence, the heart of the Renaissance, discovering its art-filled squares, historic monuments and timeless elegance. The rail experience continues to Venice, where canals, gondolas and the unique lagoon atmosphere create unforgettable moments, before another smooth train journey takes you to Milan, a vibrant hub of fashion, architecture and culture. From Milan, a regional train leads you to the shores of Lake Como, allowing you to enjoy tranquil lakeside towns and alpine backdrops before returning to the city. The adventure then transitions into the high Alps as you travel to Tirano and board the legendary Bernina Express. This UNESCO World Heritage railway carries you through dramatic mountain scenery to the glamorous resort town of St. Moritz. The journey reaches its pinnacle aboard the Glacier Express, crossing spectacular bridges and mountain passes en route to Zermatt, beneath the iconic Matterhorn. After ascending to Matterhorn Glacier Paradise, the experience concludes with a scenic train ride to Zurich, perfectly rounding off a seamless rail journey through Europe’s most diverse landscapes!
