Embark on a 13-hour journey to a UNESCO World Heritage site, the Bernina TRAIN, taking a scenic route through Lake Como and a stunning Alpine valley. We’ll take a halt at a quaint lakeside village, and if possible, at a winery or vintage cellar experience or a café!
In Tirano, you’ll have an hour to grab lunch before we board the Bernina TRAIN that ascends the Swiss Alps.
We deboard at one of the peak points to appreciate the views of snow-covered peaks and glaciers.
(IN CASE OF EXTREME WEATHER CONDITIONS, WE MIGHT BE UNABLE TO REACH THIS POINT AND MAY RESORT TO ONLY A PARTIAL RIDE OF THE BERNINA TRAIN)
Next, we proceed to St. Moritz where you get roughly 45 minutes to explore this fashionable resort, one of the most famous globally.
To wrap it up, we journey back to Lake Como, via another remarkable valley in Switzerland, from where you hop onto the regular train for a ride back to Milan.
