Bernina Express from Switzerland through Alpine peaks to Venice

Illustration of Venice and the Bernina Express

Railbookers' Venice and the Bernina Express is a six-day independent rail package linking Switzerland and Italy. You depart from Zurich, travel on the Bernina Express through spectacular Alpine scenery, pass through Milan, and arrive in Venice for a three-night stay by the Venetian lagoon. The package includes rail passes and accommodation in all three cities, allowing you to explore at your own pace without a guide. This route suits independent travelers and repeat rail passengers who want to combine two distinct Alpine rail experiences with time in Europe's waterside city. The journey emphasizes the celebrated Bernina route's mountain vistas and the contrast between Swiss peaks and Italian charm. Priced from $1,349 USD, it offers a self-guided option for those who prefer freedom in their daily schedule.
