Rome to Zurich via the Glacier and Bernina Express Trains

Rail trip from Rome to Zurich via the Bernina and Glacier Express

Railbookers operates this 10-day, 9-night independent rail package running from Rome to Zurich, named for its journeys on the Glacier and Bernina Express trains. The trip opens in Rome with the Colosseum, the Vatican Museums, and the Trevi Fountain, then continues by high-speed train through the Italian countryside to Milan, described as the fashion and design capital of Italy. From Milan, the Bernina Express carries travelers through the Swiss Alps to St Moritz, with the route continuing on to Zermatt and finishing in Zurich. 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 the stretch from St Moritz onward, so the exact day-by-day plan is not fully confirmed. It suits travelers who want Roman history paired with two named scenic Swiss train routes. Prices start from $3,599 per person.

What to know before you look closer

The description available for this package cuts off mid-sentence while describing St Moritz and does not detail the remainder of the route to Zermatt and Zurich; confirm the full day-by-day plan and hotel nights with Railbookers before booking.
