Paris, Lausanne, St Moritz, and Milan

Nine-day rail journey through Paris, Switzerland, and Milan via the Bernina Express

Illustration of Paris, Lausanne, St Moritz, and Milan

Railbookers operates this 9-day, 8-night rail vacation across France, Switzerland, and Italy, spending two nights in each of four stops: Paris, Lausanne, St. Moritz, and Milan. Day 2 in Paris pairs priority Eiffel Tower access with a Seine River cruise, before Day 3's train to Lausanne, where a 4-Day Swiss Pass begins. Day 4 uses that pass for a scenic ferry ride across Lake Geneva to the medieval Chillon Castle, and Day 5 continues by train through the Swiss countryside to the alpine resort town of St. Moritz, where Day 6 is left at leisure for a walk around Lake St. Moritz or a visit to the Segantini Museum. Day 7 is built around the world-famous Bernina Express, climbing through the Alps before descending into Milan, where Day 8 combines a Hop-on Hop-off sightseeing tour with a small-group culinary food tour. The mix of scenic Alpine rail travel, a named train journey, and culinary and sightseeing inclusions suits couples, photographers, and travelers drawn to Italian food.
