Zurich to Lake Como with the Bernina Express

Eight-day Swiss Alps and Italian lakes rail journey on the Bernina Express

Illustration of Zurich to Lake Como with the Bernina Express

Railbookers' 8-day independent rail package carries you from the urban heart of Zurich across the Swiss Alps to the Italian lakes, with the Bernina Express as the centerpiece. This UNESCO-listed train climbs from the lower valleys into high Alpine terrain, descending steeply through spiral viaducts and pine forests before crossing into Italy. You stay in Zurich, St Moritz, and Lake Como, each a base from which to explore at your own pace. The package suits independent travellers and first-time rail passengers who want a celebrated scenic train wrapped into a broader journey without a tour guide. Couples drawn to the combination of mountain grandeur and Italian lake romance will find it especially appealing. With 8 days and 7 nights, the trip balances travel days with time to walk, eat, and absorb each place.
