      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.

    2. Schloss Spiez

      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.

    3. 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.

    Not worth the money

    The trip was okay. Meeting time and location was changed. We were made aware yet mor inconvenient. Lorenzo was nice bout not very informative. There were o lyrics 4 English speaking people on the tour. He catered to the Italian speaking people. Not enough time in Interlaken. Only 1 and 1/2 hours. Not worth the money

    Response from the operator: Dear traveler, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear the day didn't fully meet your expectations. We've noted your comments about the change to the meeting arrangements, the balance of languages during the commentary, and the time available in Interlaken, and we'll share them with Lorenzo and our operations team as we continually work to improve the experience. We'd be glad to welcome you again on a future tour. Kind regards, Zani Viaggi.

    Great Day trip to Interlaken. Spaced out stops made it an enjoyable journey. Would do again. Tour Guides were great.

    Okay

    The guide’s English was not audible and the initial trip plan was cancelled and it was too late to book a different trip.

    Interlaken and the Green Train of Swiss Alps Day Trip from Milan: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Milan.

    How much does Interlaken and the Green Train of Swiss Alps Day Trip from Milan cost?

    +

    Prices start at $171 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Milan usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Interlaken and the Green Train of Swiss Alps Day Trip from Milan take?

    +

    Plan for about 13 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Milan is not rushed.

    Is Interlaken and the Green Train of Swiss Alps Day Trip from Milan worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 46 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.4/5 across 31 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Milan, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Interlaken and the Green Train of Swiss Alps Day Trip from Milan?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Interlaken and the Green Train of Swiss Alps Day Trip from Milan suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 13-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Interlaken and the Green Train of Swiss Alps Day Trip from Milan?

    +

    Around 11 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Milan can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Milan and add a light layer if any part of the 13-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Interlaken and the Green Train of Swiss Alps Day Trip from Milan start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Milan within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Milan?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Milan experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Small-Group Lake Como & Lugano: 2 Countries in 1 Day, Boat Cruise, Gnocchi, Pasta, Tiramisù and Wine Class, Como, Bellagio & Varenna: Small Group from Milan with Boat Cruise. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Milan?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Milan?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
