Itinerary

Your tour begins at the Milan Visitor Center

Meet your guide at Milan Largo Cairoli 18 Milan Visitor Center and check in with the group. Then board an air-conditioned coach and settle in as you leave the city behind for the Alpine borderlands.

Drive north toward the Swiss Alps

Travel by coach through northern Italy as the landscape shifts from plains to foothills. Your guide shares simple context on the Bernina route and what to watch for once the mountains begin to rise.

Arrive in St. Moritz and explore lakeside streets

Step off the coach in St. Moritz and enjoy free time to stroll the lakefront and browse elegant streets. Grab a warm drink, take photos of the valley views, and soak up the town’s high-altitude calm.

Board the Bernina Red Train for a scenic journey

Take your seat on the Bernina Red Train in second class and slide open the windows for crisp mountain air. This UNESCO-protected railway is built for views, so keep your camera ready from the start.

Watch glaciers, gorges, and bridges roll past

Follow the tracks across high viaducts and through looping tunnels carved into steep terrain. Along the way, you’ll pass icy slopes and deep gorges that make this one of Europe’s most dramatic rail rides.

Return to Milan by coach

Rejoin your coach after the train journey and relax on the ride back toward Milan. As the mountains fade into foothills, watch valleys, vineyards, and small towns slide past your window on the way home.

Your tour ends at the Milan Visitor Center

Arrive back at Milan Largo Cairoli 18 Milan Visitor Center and say goodbye to your guide. You finish with a full camera roll of Alpine views and a clear sense of why this railway is legendary.
