Itinerary

Your tour begins in central Milan

Meet your tour leader by the Fidenza Village kiosk behind the blue-and-orange IP gas station, then step onto the coach and leave Milan behind. As the skyline fades, the road pulls you toward the first hints of the Alps.

Glide north by coach toward the Swiss border

Settle in as valleys begin to rise and the air feels sharper. Your tour leader tees up the day’s rhythm, St. Moritz on your own time, then the Bernina route, so you can relax and simply anticipate what’s ahead.

Reset with a café break on the way

Pause to stretch, sip a coffee, and shake out the travel time before the mountain scenery ramps up. It’s a small breather perfectly timed just before your Swiss arrival.

Enjoy time in St. Moritz at your own pace

Wander the lakefront, browse sleek boutiques, or duck into a pastry shop for something sweet. The town feels crisp and polished, with high-altitude light and alpine views that invite you to slow down.

Settle into the panoramic Bernina Express carriage

Board for the St. Moritz to Tirano ride in a premium panoramic carriage, where roof-high windows open the landscape like a moving postcard. You have a guaranteed seat, but specific seat numbers are not assigned in advance.

Take in views of glaciers, peaks, and bold mountain passes

As the train climbs and crests, watch the scenery sharpen into glaciers, bright lakes, and rugged ridgelines. The line reaches its highest point at Ospizio Bernina, topping out around 7,391 ft (2,253 m) before beginning its descent.

Feel the world shift as you roll into Tirano

The atmosphere gradually softens from Swiss alpine to a more Mediterranean Italian feel as you approach Tirano. Step off with a camera full of views and a satisfied, post-journey thrill only a great scenic train can deliver.

Your tour ends in Milan, where it began

After Tirano, board the coach back to Milan for the evening return. By the time you arrive back at the orgina meeting point, you’ll have crossed borders, chased big views, and experienced one of Europe’s most scenic rail routes.
