Milan, Lake Como & Scenic Trains Loop
An Italy-Switzerland rail loop connecting Lake Como, the Bernina Express, the Glacier Express, and Lake Maggiore
Head north from Milan for a leisurely tour of the lake district, then travel via Tirano to board the Bernina line. Stay two nights in the Engadin valley, take the Glacier Express to Zermatt, and return to Lake Maggiore and Milan via Domodossola without backtracking. This route offers a striking contrast between Italian and Swiss landscapes. By skipping the Bernese Oberland and Swiss cities, it is ideal for travelers entering from Italy.
The Glacier Express is suspended from mid-October to early December; seat reservations should be made months in advance during summer.
