	Cisalpino - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Cisalpino is a high-speed train that interconnects Stuttgart, Basel, Geneva, Zürich, Milan, Venice, and Florence.
		The tilting train (colloquially known as "Pendolino"), the Italian ETR 470, provides a comfortable and fast connection between Italy, Switzerland, and Germany.
		The Cisalpino is operated by the Cisalpino AG which has its headquarters in Bern.

		Cisalpino postponed revenue service from June 2, 1996, the start of the summer timetable, to the winter schedule to give engineers time to reprogram the tilting software.
		The Cisalpino company formed by the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB), the Bern-Lotschberg-Simplon Railroad (BLS) and the Italian State Railroads (FS) financed the $20 million fleet of ETR 470 Pendolino trains.
		Cisalpino considers this an efficient deployment of its high-priced equipment because the line between Zurich and Stuttgart is so highly curved that a tilting train will very effectively reduce travel time.

		A soup to nuts restaurant meal with a nice wine selection and fresh food, this is a splurge that is well worth it if you are in for the long haul...snacking on chips and soda for 8 hours will only dehydrate you and make you feel horrible when you get off the train.
		The luxuries of the Cisalpino come at a cost, about 10-25% greater than a regular Italian train, excluding the equally expensive Eurostar trains.
		With creature comforts and one of the most beautiful travelling routes in all of Northern Italy, the Cisalpino is the only line for those in the know.

		Cisalpino trains require reservations before boarding on international runs, though inside Switzerland you can just get on them and not pay the reservation fee.
		You can also purchase a seat reservation on the Cisalpino train within Italy (if you can't meet the time limits for seat reservations from the station of boarding), although this is not the preferred method, and you may need to hunt around for an empty seat.
		Normally, I would completely agree that using the Cisalpino service is ideal...HOWEVER, depending on the time of year/date of travel the FIRST Cisalpino which runs all the way to Spiez without changes does not depart Milan until 5:10 PM so a better option might be taking a non-Cisalpino service.

		Because the Zurich-Stuttgart line is also served by Italian ETR470 Cisalpino tilting trains, it gave me the opportunity to test drive Cisalpino from Zurich and return to Zurich by ICE T and thus make a clear comparison between the two designs and two trains.
		While my Cisalpino consisted of nine carriages, three first class, one dining and five second class, the Zurich-Stuttgart ICE T consisted of five carriages, one first class with lounge, three second class and one with a cafe plus second-class seating.
		Whereas Cisalpino devotes a full carriage to the best and most tasteful dining area to be found on the trains of Europe, the 5-carriage ICE T has only a token cafe with no seats.

		However, if they run on existing lines the Cisalpino would likely be faster.
		The Eurostar (I believe this applies in the Italian Eurostar but you might want to research this) is a variation of the French TGV, made by Alstom, and does not tilt.
		The Cisalpino, manufactured by Fiat (now owned by Bombardier, who also now owns Alstom and built the Amtrak Acela), has a hydraulic tilt system and can travel up to 20% faster on conventional lines.

		Agree with the others that the train from Geneva is much less hassle, unless the price difference to Milan is very great, in which case take a taxi from Milan airport to Milan Centrale station and get the super-fast Cisalpino train to Brig and then the little red train up to Zermatt.
		You would of course have to compare prices on the train from Milan versus the train from Geneva to see if the cheaper airfare is worth it.
		IF you take a Cisalpino train which is about 15 minutes or so faster than the regular trains on this route, and requires seat reservations, you will have to go all the way to Brig to change since it will not stop in Visp.

		All was confirmed by the stunning Swiss sideshow of lakes, mountains and greener than green fields, as they swept by each side of the train.
		My lunch salad was so fresh, I was sure it'd been picked as the Cisalpino flashed by a luscious looking vegetable garden, and my scaloppini was among the best I've ever tasted.
