The Glacier and Bernina Express from Amsterdam

7-day independent rail trip from Amsterdam through the Swiss Alps to Milan

Railbookers operates this 7-day, 6-night independent rail package that starts in Amsterdam and ends in Milan, with the middle of the trip spent in the Swiss Alps. After a night in Zurich, the route continues to two nights each in Zermatt and St Moritz, riding the Gornergrat railway and the Glacier and Bernina Express along the way before the trip ends in Milan. Because it is sold as an independent rail package rather than an escorted tour, travelers make their own way between stops on their own schedule. The evidence pack does not name the hotels used in Zurich, Zermatt, St Moritz, or Milan. At $3,149 USD per person, this suits travelers who want a short, scenery-focused rail trip through the Swiss Alps bookended by two European cities.
