Classic Switzerland from Milan

Scenic rail holiday from Milan through the Swiss Alps to Zurich

Railbookers sells Classic Switzerland from Milan as an 8-day, 7-night independent rail package running from Milan to Zurich. The trip begins in metropolitan Milan, in northern Italy, then travels by train through palm-treed valleys and across bridges into Switzerland, stopping in Chur before continuing to Zermatt beneath the Matterhorn. From Zermatt the route continues toward Interlaken and Zurich, with a rail excursion included to the highest railway station in Europe, before ending in Zurich's Old Town. Because it is an independent package rather than an escorted tour, travelers move between stops on their own between the train connections Railbookers arranges. It suits travelers who want to see Swiss mountain scenery by rail without joining a guided group.
