Lucerne, Zermatt, and St Moritz

9-day Swiss rail trip through Lucerne, Zermatt, and St Moritz

Railbookers sells Lucerne, Zermatt, and St Moritz as an independent rail package, meaning travellers make their own way by train rather than joining an escorted group. The route runs 9 days and 8 nights, starting in Zurich and taking in three of Switzerland's most popular destinations. From Zurich the trip visits lakeside Lucerne, with views from Mount Pilatus, then continues to Zermatt to see the Matterhorn. The Glacier Express then carries travellers to St Moritz. The description also mentions the Bernina Express and onward travel into Italy toward Milan, although the pack's own destination and country data list only Swiss stops, so the exact endpoint is worth confirming directly with Railbookers. Railbookers does not publish a full day-by-day itinerary for this package, so hotels and connections are also confirmed at booking. It suits independent travellers who want a Swiss Alpine rail route built around the Glacier Express and Bernina Express.
