Rome to the Matterhorn

Rail trip from Rome to the Matterhorn via Milan, ending in Zurich

Railbookers operates this 6-day, 5-night independent rail package running from Rome to Zurich by way of Milan and Zermatt. The trip opens in Rome, described as a city with millennia of history and landmarks, then continues to Milan, called the fashion capital, before a scenic train journey through the Italian Lakes to Zermatt, home to the Matterhorn. It closes in Zurich, where, in the operator's words, modernity meets tradition. Because this is an independent package rather than an escorted tour, Railbookers arranges the trains and hotel stays while travelers explore each stop at their own pace. The available description cuts off before detailing what happens after Zurich, so the day-by-day plan and hotel nights in each city are not fully confirmed. It suits travelers who want to pair Italian history and Swiss alpine scenery on a short rail trip. Prices start from $1,899 per person.
