Full description

Enjoy a scenic journey towards St. Moritz, with a short stop along the way for a coffee break and the chance to admire the picturesque Lake Como.

Upon arrival in St. Moritz, explore this world-famous Alpine destination, known for its elegance and exclusivity. Nestled at 1,856 meters (6,089 feet) above sea level, the town offers breathtaking views of the Engadin lakes and has been a luxury retreat since the 19th century.

In the early afternoon, board the iconic Bernina Red Train, often called "the most beautiful train in the world." This historic railway climbs the mountains with gradients of up to 7% and reaches an altitude of 2,253 meters (7,392 feet). The journey from St. Moritz to Tirano is a mesmerizing experience, offering spectacular views of glaciers, alpine valleys, and unspoiled natural landscapes.

Upon arrival in Tirano, return to Milan by coach with an expected arrival in the evening.
