Railbookers Signature - Glacier and Bernina Express, the Matterhorn, and the Last Supper

8-day Switzerland to Italy rail trip on the Glacier and Bernina Express

Railbookers runs this 8-day, 7-night independent rail package through Switzerland and Italy, starting in Zurich and finishing in Milan. From Zurich, the trip continues to Zermatt, in the shadow of the Matterhorn, for a night in the village, a full day exploring Gornergrat, and a night at the historic Hotel Riffelhaus 1853, about 8,000 feet above sea level, before a final night back in Zermatt. From there, the route continues by the Glacier Express and the Bernina Express, two scenic train journeys named in the trip's title, on toward St Moritz and Milan, where the trip ends with a viewing of the Last Supper. As an independent package, travelers explore each stop on their own rather than following a set group schedule.
