Grand Train Tour of Switzerland – Magia dell'inverno

Swiss alpine rail circle from Lucerne through Zermatt and St. Moritz

The Grand Train Tour of Switzerland: Magia dell'inverno (Magic of Winter) is a seven-day independent rail journey operated by Switzerland Travel Centre across the Swiss Alps during the winter season. The trip begins in Lucerne and ends in Poschiavo, moving through three signature destinations: Interlaken, Zermatt, and St. Moritz. Travel occurs on three named panoramic trains, the Luzern-Interlaken Express, Glacier Express, and Bernina Express, all in second class. Days split between travel and rest: Day 1 brings a two-hour scenic train ride to Interlaken; Days 2 and 3 allow time to explore the town and travel to Zermatt at the foot of the Matterhorn; Day 4 offers a free day in Zermatt; Day 5 is spent aboard the Glacier Express crossing high alpine passes for eight hours to St. Moritz; Day 6 continues on the Bernina Express through UNESCO-listed rail lines toward Poschiavo. The trip suits repeat rail travelers and photographers drawn to winter mountain scenery: glaciers, frozen lakes, and views of peaks including the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau.
