In January I was lucky enough to travel to Italy on one of the world's most beautiful trains, the Bernina Express. For this slow travel vlog I show my entire journey from Zurich to Milan on three different trains through the Swiss alps.
There are other ways to get to Milan from London or Zurich which I discuss in this video but this is the most scenic route.
A few years ago I quit flying for holidays and since then whenever I go away I travel by land or sea, mainly by train or ferry. I’m hoping that by showing how much more of an adventure it is to take the train rather than flying will inspire others to travel this way.
If you’re interested in learning more about slow or sustainable travel and seeing what other flight-free holidays look like I will be uploading more videos in the future which explore both.
For now though I hope you enjoy this video and see you soon!
