From Milan: St. Moritz-Tirano Day Trip with Lake Como Cruise & Bernina Red Train

About this experience

Book a Lake Como and Bernina Red Train day trip from Milan Book this day trip from Milan to see Lake Como, St. Moritz and the Bernina line through the Swiss Alps in one go, with every transfer planned for you. A coach takes you out of Milan early, you cruise Lake Como by private boat, walk through St. Moritz with your guide and ride the Bernina Red Train in 2nd class between St. Moritz and Tirano before the coach brings you back to Milan. It is a long day of about 13 hours, but you never have to work out a timetable or a border crossing yourself. An English- and Spanish-speaking tour leader travels with the group, and you get audio headsets so you can hear the commentary clearly on the boat and in St. Moritz. Lake Como, St. Moritz and the Bernina line The day starts on the water. Your private boat glides past lakeside villages and historic villas in the quiet early morning, when the light is good for photos. Later, in St. Moritz, your guide leads a short walk along the lakefront and Via Serlas, the street of high-end boutiques, before you get free time for a coffee, shopping or more photos of the Alpine resort. The train ride runs on the UNESCO-listed Bernina line, the same railway the Bernina Express uses between St. Moritz and Tirano. You travel on the regional red train, not the panoramic Bernina Express carriages, and its windows open, so you can photograph the glaciers, mountain passes and valleys as the line crosses the Bernina Pass and drops down towards Italy. Look out for Ospizio Bernina, the highest point of the line at about 2,253 metres, and the curved stone viaduct at Brusio near Tirano. The order of the route can change on the day. How the tickets work Your ticket covers the round-trip coach from Milan, the private Lake Como boat cruise, the guided walk in St. Moritz, audio headsets and the Bernina Red Train ride in 2nd class. Seats on the train are not reserved, and the panoramic Bernina Express upgrade is not included. Meals and drinks are not included. Show your mobile voucher with a valid photo ID at the starting point. The exact starting point is on your voucher. Infants travel free but do not get their own seat and sit on a parent's lap. Tips before you go You cross from Italy into Switzerland and back, so carry a valid passport or EU ID card. Mountain weather changes quickly, so bring warm layers and rain gear even when Milan is warm. Pets are not allowed, except registered assistance dogs. Prefer more time in St. Moritz and no boat? The Bernina Red Train and St. Moritz day trip from Milan is a shorter version of this day. For a day focused on the lake, see the Lake Como and Bellagio tour from Milan, and back in the city, book skip-the-line Duomo di Milano tickets.
