Classic Switzerland

15-day Swiss rail trip on the Glacier and Bernina Express

Illustration of Classic Switzerland

Railbookers runs Classic Switzerland as a 15-day, 14-night independent rail package touring six destinations: Lucerne, Wengen, Zermatt, St Moritz, Lugano, and Zurich. The package builds around two of Switzerland's named scenic trains, the Glacier Express and the Bernina Express, and includes a Swiss Pass that covers further optional train travel between stops. Bases such as Wengen and Zermatt add day trips up to mountain summits, so the days combine long scenic rail rides with high-altitude side trips rather than city sightseeing alone. Because the trip is independent rather than escorted, and the Swiss Pass leaves some activities up to you, it suits travelers who want the two most famous Swiss rail routes covered but prefer choosing their own pace and extra excursions along the way.
