Entry on an Indian passport
Two sets of rules on this trip, and both have to be sorted before you fly.
- Italy: Embassy or consulate in advance, 90 days in any 180. Schengen.
- Switzerland: Embassy or consulate in advance, 90 days in any 180. Schengen.
Checked 2026-11 against Wikipedia’s compilation of IATA Timatic entries. Entry rules depend on your passport and where you live, and they change with little notice — confirm with each embassy or your airline before you book. Check another country.

Best for: Lakes then mountains, entirely by train, on one Schengen visa
Italy and Switzerland in 10 days: Milan, Lake Como, Zermatt and Lucerne
Milan → Lake Como → Zermatt → Lucerne
Two days in Milan, two on Lake Como, then the Matterhorn and the Swiss lakes — no car, no internal flights, and one visa for both countries. What the Swiss Travel Pass is actually worth, the one ticket to book months ahead, and why Zermatt gets three nights.
