Depart Milan on a high-speed train to the city of Domodossola, the last Italian border 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 passes in Switzerland. Cutting through the Alps, your expert English-speaking guide will introduce you to the secrets of the mountains and valleys as they appear before your eyes.

After about 2 hours of breathtaking views, we arrive in Spiez, on the shores of Lake Thun. Here we stop for lunch (not included), before setting off on our Interlaken cruise, on a state-of-the-art steamboat.

As you cross the lake, take a moment to snap some photos of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau, 3 famous mountains whose recognizable shapes are reflected in the lake's azure water.

Once in Interlaken, enjoy time to explore the picturesque architecture or take a walk around the shore where you can watch hang gliders flying peacefully over the snow-capped Alps in the distance. In addition to the beautiful views, don't forget to try some of the best Swiss chocolates in the world at one of the many specialized local chocolatiers that dot the city.

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