TGV Lyria and Thello/EuroCity services connect Strasbourg and Milan via Basel and the Gotthard or Simplon crossing, combining Alsatian character with Swiss efficiency and Italian flair. The journey traverses three countries and some of Europe's most dramatic alpine scenery. Carry your passport for the Switzerland-Italy border crossing.
