    Full description
    Spend a full-day traveling to St. Moritz on this exciting rail journey! The Bernina is one of Switzerland's most scenic railways, climbing more than 1,800 meters, making it the steepest railway journey in the world. Round-trip transfer from Milan is included in the tour. Your rail journey begins in Tirano, Italy, and takes you all the way to the world-renowned Swiss mountain resort of St. Moritz. Tirano is a picturesque Mediterranean town in a mountain setting dotted with palms and oleanders. The train ride will take you from an altitude of 429 meters up to 1,829 meters! You’ll cross the spiraling viaduct at Brusio and the Bernina Pass to the alpine valley known as the Engadin. On this 2 hour 30 minute journey you’ll marvel at the scenery of the Alps. UNESCO named the Bernina route a world heritage site. You’ll see monumental glaciers, cross steep gorges, and pass through tunnels under some of the area’s most massive mountains. In St. Moritz you’ll have time to explore Switzerland's most famous mountain resort before the return journey to Milan.

    Probably better to do the other tour a available on here. This trip only takes you one way to Switzerland which isn’t advertised and then a bus trip back to Italy. Train was amazing though and Swiss Town was beaut. Didn’t get enough time here and too much time is spent in the Italian town beforehand and only 1 hour in Switzerland. I believe the other trip you make your own way to the Italian town and can spend as much time as you like in Switzerland before also getting the train back. Was nice to have the guide however, he was lovely. The views are amazing

    This tour was brilliant. Our tour guide Inna was fabulous. The only downside to it is, the time in Saint Moritz is very very minimum. Then again, this specific tour is all about the journey and not the destination. Also the Pizzochoeri pasta for lunch at Tirona is a must try :)
