This full-day bus and train trip from Milan covers the Swiss Alps and includes time in the resort town of St Moritz. The tour begins with a coach ride from Milan, including a breakfast stop in Piantedo and views of Lake Como. After the drive through Maloja, passengers arrive in St Moritz for about 90 minutes to walk through the town, known for its 19th-century buildings and lakes at 1856 meters elevation. In the early afternoon, the group boards the Bernina Red Train for a scenic 2-hour 20-minute ride through alpine landscapes to Tirano (for the St Moritz-Tirano option). The train features opening windows to reduce glare and commentary from an English-speaking guide. On arrival in Tirano, passengers transfer back to Milan by coach, completing the round trip with air conditioning on the vehicles. The coach returns to Milan with a drop-off at Hotel Gallia near the main train station. The tour includes a second-class train ticket for the Bernina line and round-trip coach transfers from Milan’s central station. Free time in St Moritz allows for shopping or tasting chocolates at a local pastry shop. Food, drinks, and gratuities are not included. The itinerary and timing may vary depending on traffic and season.
