Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Pass By: Sacred Mount Calvary of Domodossola, B.ta S.M. Calvario, n.5, 28845 Domodossola Italy

Depart Milan on a high-speed train for the town of Domodossola, the last Italian frontier before the Swiss border. Here begins your adventure on the “Green train of the Alps!”

The train takes you on a journey through the Simplon pass, one of the most beautiful crossings in Switzerland. Cutting between the alps, your knowledgeable English-speaking guide will introduce you to the secrets of mountains and the valleys as they appear before of your eyes.


Stop At: Schloss Spiez, Schlossstrasse 16, Spiez 3700 Switzerland

After around 2 hours of breath-taking panoramas, we arrive in Spiez, on the shores of Lake Thun. Here we stop for a spot of lunch (not included), before departing on our cruise to Interlaken, on a state of the art steamboat.

Whilst crossing the lake, take a moment to snap some pictures of Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau, 3 famous mountains whose recognisable shapes reflect in the light blue water of the lake.


Duration: 2 hours

Stop At: Bahnhofstrasse 25/5 3800, 3800 Interlaken, Switzerland

Once in the Interlaken, enjoy time to explore the picturesque architecture or take a walk around the shore where you can marvel at the hang gliders peacefully soaring over the snow capped alps in the distance.

Aside from beautiful views, don’t forget to try some of the world’s finest Swiss chocolate at the one of the many local specialty chocolatiers that dot the town.

In the late afternoon, we take the train back to Domodossola, before returning to Milan on an air-conditioned coach.

Wow! What a fantastic trip. It was actually a bus that took us to Swiss border rather than highbspeed train as was advertised but it made nó difference. We had a small stop before we crossed border where we had 1st train ride for 25 min . We then got on the Green Train. Wow! As a tip i would recommend sitting on seats on the right hand side on direction train is going. You will see more. Amazing views. Got into Speiz where we got on the cruise on Lake Thun. It was amazing. Unreal. We were approx on it for 1hr 20 mins before arriving into Interlaken where we had approx 1hr 20 mins to look around. It was lovely. Shame we couldn't have stayed longer though. Then completed the return journey and got back to Milan around 8pm. The guide I think was called Alherando (i know i have spelt that wrong) and driver Richardo. They were both fantastic and very helpful and informative. I would absolutely recommend this trip and I would do it again in a heartbeat. Only thing that would make it better would be more time in Speiz and Interlaken but obviously that's not possibly without an overnight stay. Another thing we were asked by Swiss border police on train for passports so don't forget them.

We had a wonderful day exploring Interlaken. The Alps are amazingly beautiful. Our guides were wonderful and did well keeping us all together and showing us wonderful places for lunch and souvenirs. Be sure to have lunch across from the park. The view is breathtaking! It's a long day with a bus and a couple of trains each way to/from the boat, but definitely worth it!

Perhaps this trip is better in summer. Most of the day is spent on a bus or a train and the scenery is average. The town visit of Interlaken is boring and there is nothing to do there. So the trip was a waste of time and money for me. The guide also only spoke Italian and no English. I wanted to do something special for Christmas and was highly disappointed.

Trip to Interlaken was an enjoyable and refreshing break from the city heat. Informative and organized guide who kept the group together, while moving through the various modes of transportation. Loved the day trip from Milan.
