Description
Discover St. Moritz after taking a morning bus ride from Milan. Ride the panoramic Bernina Express from St. Moritz to Tirano in the afternoon in a panoramic carriage before returning to Milan by bus.
From up among sparkling glaciers and down to a land of palms, the Panoramic Bernina Express offers a change of scene like no other. No other railway links north to south in such a wonderful manner on trains with glass-topped panoramic cars.
In the morning, depart by bus from Milan Piazza della Repubblica to the cosmopolitan city of St. Moritz. Upon arrival, enjoy time at your disposal for a panoramic walk along the lake area, some shopping, or sweet-tasting in one of the delicious local pastry shops.
In the afternoon, head over to the train station and get seated in the guaranteed panoramic carriage on board the Bernina Express Train bound for Tirano.
Experience one of life’s finest cultural and natural-world experiences on a train that traverses no fewer than 55 tunnels and 196 bridges, easily tackling inclines of up to 70 mm/m along the way.
Admire the view as the train travels into the mountains. Gaze in awe at the panoramas of the Morteratsch Glacier and the world-famous Montebello Curve.
Continue past the lakes of Lago Bianco e Laj Neir up to Alp Gruem. Arrive in Tirano before boarding a bus to make the return journey to Milan with a scheduled arrival in the late evening.
