Rome via the Alps

Independent rail trip from Geneva to Rome via the Alps

Railbookers operates this 6-day, 5-night independent rail package that combines Geneva with Rome, starting with two nights in the lakeside Swiss city before a scenic train journey through the Alps to Italy. The centerpiece of the trip is the rail journey itself, which crosses the Swiss Alps through the Simplon Pass on the way from Geneva to Rome. After that journey, the package settles into three nights in Rome for sightseeing among the city's landmarks and attractions. Because it is an independent package, travelers explore each stop at their own pace while Railbookers arranges the train connections. The trip suits travelers who want a short, two-stop rail vacation built around one dramatic Alpine train ride rather than a long multi-city itinerary. It is priced from $1,249 USD for the full 6 days, about $208 per day.
