The Swiss Mountains and Venice

Swiss Alpine trains and funiculars to Venice over eight days

Illustration of The Swiss Mountains and Venice

Railbookers' Swiss Mountains and Venice is an eight-day independent rail package that takes you from the Swiss Alps to the canals of Italy. Starting in Lucerne, you ride Europe's steepest cog railway to the summit of Mount Pilatus. In Interlaken, the Harder Kulm Funicular delivers panoramic views, and you then travel to Jungfrau, one of the highest railway stations in Europe. From the mountains, you board trains that carry you southward through the Italian countryside to Venice, where you spend several nights exploring the city's waterways and plazas. This route suits independent rail travellers who want to mix high-mountain experiences with city exploration and are comfortable arranging their own onward activities. The package costs from USD 2,899 per person and includes seven nights of accommodation and rail travel, though you should confirm with Railbookers whether train fares are bundled in the from-price or booked as a separate product.

What to know before you look closer

  • The operator publishes no day-by-day itinerary for this package; confirm how many nights are in each city, which specific trains you will ride, and what meals or activities are included before booking.
  • The from-price of USD 2,899 is for the rail package and accommodation; confirm whether train fares are included or purchased separately.
