12-day independent rail trip on the Bernina and Glacier Express

Railbookers operates this 12-day, 11-night independent rail package through Italy and Switzerland, visiting Rome, Stresa on Lake Maggiore, Lake Como, Milan, St. Moritz, Interlaken, and Zurich. As an independent package, travelers arrange their own days and train connections between stops rather than following a group leader. The trip's centerpiece is travel aboard two named scenic trains, the Bernina Express and the Glacier Express, both crossing the Swiss Alps. It suits travelers who want to combine Italian lake towns with Alpine rail journeys, particularly those drawn to scenic train travel and photography, and who are comfortable planning their own route across seven destinations in two countries.
