The Gems of Italy with the Glacier and Bernina Express Trains

13-day Italy and Switzerland rail trip on the Glacier and Bernina Express

Railbookers sells this 13-day, 12-night independent rail package that pairs Italy with Switzerland, starting among the historic sights of Rome, Florence, and Venice before crossing into the Swiss Alps. The evidence pack describes rides on the Glacier and Bernina Express as part of the trip, along with an included Sunset Gondola Tour in Florence. The route also stops in Geneva, Zermatt, St Moritz, and Zurich, though the pack does not give the order or number of nights spent in each city. Because it is sold as an independent rail package rather than an escorted tour, travelers make their own way between stops. No hotels are named in the evidence available to us. At $6,299 USD per person, this suits travelers who want both Italian cities and Swiss alpine scenery in a single independent rail trip.
