Paris to Zurich via the Glacier Express

7-day rail trip from Paris to Zurich via the Glacier Express

Railbookers operates this 7-day independent rail package that the operator titles Paris to Zurich, built around a ride aboard the Glacier Express through the Swiss Alps. The description opens on the streets of Paris before moving on to Geneva, a city on Lake Geneva with what the operator calls a cosmopolitan atmosphere. From there the route reaches Zermatt, a mountain resort below the Matterhorn, then St Moritz, before finishing in Zurich. The Glacier Express, one of the named highlights, is described as one of the world's most scenic train rides. The package's own destination list names Geneva, Zermatt, St Moritz, and Zurich, without listing Paris separately, so it is worth confirming with Railbookers whether a Paris hotel night is included. Because this is an independent rail package, Railbookers arranges trains and hotels between these cities without a guide. It suits travelers drawn to Alpine scenery and a well known scenic train route, moving between several stops over 6 nights.
