Swiss Gems from Basel

Swiss rail trip from Basel on the Glacier and Bernina Express

Railbookers operates this 9-day, 8-night independent rail package through Switzerland, starting in Basel. The route takes in Zurich, Lucerne, Chur, and Zermatt, and is built around two named scenic trains, the Glacier Express and the Bernina Express. The description points to the Swiss Alps and a series of towns along the way. Because this is an independent package, travelers make their own arrangements between stops rather than following a guide. It suits travelers who want a rail-focused route through Switzerland's mountains, centered on two well known scenic trains, rather than a single-region stay. Railbookers does not publish a day-by-day itinerary or named hotels for this package in our records. Priced from $4249 USD per person.
