Itinerary
Pass by: 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.
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.
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.

Traveler reviews
Illusion
After doing the Bernina Red Train last year and reading reviews on other sites, I came across a trip of hope ..... if you take a reasoned at 8.00 in the morning where you live, you save a lot 'as you spend in the dark most of the journey in overloaded wagons .... bad experience
Disappointing experience
Started with the green train of the Alps from Domodossola. The first hour all tunnels (other than breathtaking views...), in one of the stations passengers were invited to transfer to the cars behind because the bragging cars proceeded to another destination so, they continued the journey standing. I stress that the ticket costs 77 euros including a boat ride. On the lake there was no boat so after taking the walk along the lake you took the train towards Domodossola. Disappointing experience!
Trip to Pomaria
Yesterday, October 11th, I attended the trip to Pomaria and as always I am satisfied with your organization. Good drivers, Stefania Mancini always good, very professional. I am not happy about the farmer who welcomed us for the apple harvest. He made us walk only two lanes (full of mud) breathing down his neck, to pick apples that were small enough, the best ones were too high. He said 10 apples were kilos. 2.5 but, arrived at the scales were only kg. 1.5 and then added the apples in the box. I agreed to add the reds but, alas, they were very small and, when I ate one today it was tasteless and also marked in various places. It's clear that he's been clever and nobody has liked this, everyone has complained. I'm not going on this trip anymore, I'm going to do the others, but it seemed right to realize that. Thanks for the rest and see you soon Luciana Valley
