About the trip

This nine-night escorted journey from G Adventures weaves through some of the Swiss Alps' most dramatic scenery and the Italian Lakes region. It starts in the alpine village of Zermatt, where the itinerary includes a rare after-hours visit to the Matterhorn Museum and an expedition-led walk overlooking the mountain itself.

Travelling on the Glacier Express to St Moritz, travellers take in the Segantini Museum and a chocolate-making demonstration, stepping aboard cable cars and funiculars for high-altitude views. The route continues with a Bernina Pass train ride and a cruise to the elegant Villa del Balbianello on Lake Como, revisiting history amid its renowned gardens and lakeshore.

The experience includes hands-on moments like fresh pasta-making inside the Rocca di Angera castle and a cooking class, combined with expert-led walks around Bellagio and Isola Madre. Throughout, the mix of mountain engineering, lakeside villas, and traditional alpine villages provides a pace that balances scenic journeys with cultural insights, rounded off by walkers' trails and private tours of exquisite locations.
