      At the moment, we do not have a specific Intrepid tour that includes all 4 major Swiss rail journeys together with France in one itinerary. If you could let us know which Swiss rail routes you're specifically looking for, we'd be happy to suggest the closest suitable option.

      Traveler•Written June 2025

      I would like to the swiss alps and Italy including the bernina express. Do you have any of these tours as a single supplement?

    • Intrepid TravelOperator•Written June 2025

      This specific option will not have a solo room available. The Gotthard Panorama Express and Bernina Express are two of Switzerland's most famous scenic train routes, each offering unique experiences and landscapes.
