I am trying to figure out the best train to take from Paris to Rome in July 2012. We would prefer a sleeper train with the best accommodations, but would like to be able to see the Swiss Alps during the trip. Any recommendations?? I read somewhere else that Trenitalia might be offering a nonstop train starting in June from Paris to Rome, but I dont know if thats true.

Um? Sleepers travel at night. Even if the night train from Paris to Rome went through the Alps, which it doesn't, you wouldn't see them. I have June sleeper tickets. We transfer in Milan. It would be easy enough to check it tickets are now available all the way through to Rome. But you have to choose sleeper or through the Alps. You could go from Paris to Zurich and Zurich to Milan in a day and see the Alps. Make it a very long day and you could get to Rome.
