Small-Group (max 18) Bernina Scenic Train on the Swiss Alps
Enjoy a 13-hour trip to one of the UNESCO World Heritage sites, the Bernina TRAIN railway, passing before along Lake Como and a beautiful Alpine valley. We stop in a charming lakeshore village and, possibly, later by a winery or old cellar experience or a cafè! In Tirano you have around one hour for your lunch and then we board the Bernina TRAIN that climbs the Swiss Alps. We get off at one the highest point to enjoy snowcaps and glaciers view. (JUST IN CASE OF SEVERE WEATHER CONDITION WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO REACH THIS POINT AND SWITCH TO ONLY A PARTIAL RIDE OF THE BERNINA TRAIN) Afterward we head to St. Moritz where you have about 45 minutes to explore this fashionable resort, one of the most well known in the world. At the end of it we go back to Lake Como, through another spectacular valley in Switzerland, from where you board either the regular train or the minibus for a ride on your return to Milan. TRAVELERS MUST HAVE A GOOD PHYSICAL FITNESS LEVEL!
