Open the full route plannerMilan to Zurich by train, the Bernina line from Tirano, the lakes that straddle the border: Italy and Switzerland are combined all the time. Italy is in the EU roaming area and Switzerland is not, so this is the pair where travelers most often find their data has stopped. Around Lake Como, Lake Maggiore and Lugano, phones move between Italian and Swiss networks without warning.
