Scenic Switzerland from London

Independent Swiss rail trip from London via Eurostar, St Moritz, Zermatt

Railbookers sells Scenic Switzerland from London as an independent 9-day, 8-night rail journey. The trip starts in London and travels by Eurostar to Paris, then on by rail to what the evidence calls the alpine haven of St Moritz for a two-night stay. While in St Moritz, the package includes a day trip on the Bernina Express into Italy and back. The Glacier Express then carries the journey on to Zermatt for two more nights, before the route continues to Montreux and Lucerne. Built around named scenic trains and a day excursion across the border into Italy, this suits travelers who want a rail-focused tour of Switzerland that starts and ends in the UK rather than requiring a separate flight into Europe. Railbookers does not publish a full day-by-day itinerary for the stops after Zermatt.
