Lakes and Mountains of Switzerland and Italy

Great Rail Journeys operates an escorted rail tour through the lakes and mountains of Switzerland and Italy. The journey begins at Lake Lucerne, one of Switzerland's largest alpine lakes set in the heart of the country, and travels by scenic mountain railways south through Lakes Como and Garda. As an escorted package, you travel with a guide and group, following routes designed to showcase the Alps and the historic lakeside towns that border these waters. This tour suits first-time rail travellers seeking the security of an escorted itinerary and experienced rail enthusiasts keen to ride the mountain routes that connect Central Europe's most celebrated lakes. The package is designed for those who prefer guided structure and comfort over independent exploration.
