What to expect

The day begins in the centre of Como. You’ll board a comfortable coach and travel with views of Lake Como en route to
St. Moritz—the “Pearl of the Swiss Alps” on the listing.

In St. Moritz, you’ll have free time for a scenic walk along the lake, shopping, or a sweet tasting in a local pastry shop.
In the afternoon, you’ll head to the station and take your seat in one of the Bernina Express’s exclusive
Panoramic Carriages, travelling from St. Moritz to Tirano through the Bernina massif and the beautiful
Val Poschiavo.

After arriving in Tirano (a picturesque town in Valtellina), you’ll return to Como by coach to complete the day.

Winter note (daylight & views)

a schedule example departing 4:14pm from St. Moritz and arriving 6:39pm in Tirano, which can limit daylight scenery.
