Leave Milan by air-conditioned coach and travel through the Valtellina valley to Tirano, the Italian starting point of the Bernina Railway. Here you board the famous red train, with your ticket and reserved seat already included.
This UNESCO World Heritage line, the same one used by the Bernina Express, climbs from Tirano to the 2,253-meter Bernina Pass. Pass the Brusio spiral viaduct, the turquoise waters of Lago Bianco and views of the Morteratsch Glacier. In the standard carriage the windows open, so you can take photos without glass reflections.
Arrive in St. Moritz, the resort town that has drawn royalty and Olympic champions since the 19th century. Enjoy free time on the lakeside promenade or in the town center.
In the afternoon, your coach takes a different road home: down the Maloja Pass, through the Bregaglia valley and along the shores of Lake Como, arriving in Milan in the early evening. It is a full loop, with no road traveled twice.
A licensed English-speaking guide accompanies you all day, with radio headsets so you hear every commentary clearly.
