Switzerland to Sicily via the Glacier and Bernina Express Trains

Independent 19-day rail trip from Switzerland to Sicily via Italy

Illustration of Switzerland to Sicily via the Glacier and Bernina Express Trains

Railbookers sells Switzerland to Sicily via the Glacier and Bernina Express Trains as an independent rail package, meaning travelers make their own way between stops rather than joining an escorted group. The trip runs 19 days and 18 nights across Switzerland and Italy, moving from the alpine resorts of Zermatt and St Moritz through Lake Como, then on to Venice, Florence, Rome and Sorrento before finishing in Taormina and Catania in Sicily. The route takes its name from two of Switzerland's named scenic trains, the Glacier Express and the Bernina Express, and Railbookers describes the connections between stops as efficient train travel. The description available to us cuts off mid-sentence right after that point, so the exact order of stops and how travel works once the trip reaches Italy are worth confirming directly with Railbookers. This long, multi-country trip suits travelers who want to combine Swiss scenic rail with extended sightseeing across Italy.
