Paris, Rome, and the Matterhorn

10-day independent rail trip linking Paris, the Matterhorn, and Rome

Railbookers operates this 10-day independent rail package linking three very different cities: Paris, Zermatt in the Swiss Alps, and Rome. Trains connect each stop, so travelers move between destinations without switching to other transport. Paris opens the trip with time in the city and a Gourmet Seine River cruise included in the package. From there the route heads into the mountains, spending time in Zermatt beneath the Matterhorn before continuing south into Italy to finish in Rome. Because this is an independent rail package rather than an escorted tour, there is no guide managing the days between arrivals; Railbookers books the trains and lodging, and travelers explore Paris, Zermatt, and Rome at their own pace. It suits couples or independent travelers who want a mix of two major capital cities and an Alpine stop in between, across 9 nights total.
