Day 1: From Milan to Tirano – The Journey Begins

Your romantic adventure starts in Milan, where your private driver will pick you up directly from your hotel or the airport. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the scenic drive through northern Italy’s charming valleys on your way to Tirano, the starting point of the Bernina Express.

Before boarding, take a short stroll through Tirano’s old town, or enjoy a cozy hot chocolate Italian espresso in one of the cafés by the station.

 


The Bernina Express – A Love Story on Rails

Once aboard the Bernina Express, you’ll understand why this route is a UNESCO World Heritage treasure. The panoramic glass carriages offer unbeatable views of frozen lakes, alpine forests, and soaring mountain peaks.

You’ll climb to over 2,253 meters at the Bernina Pass, crossing 196 bridges and 55 tunnels — with endless stunning photo ops. It’s the most romantic train ride in Europe, and every turn feels like a scene from a snow-kissed fairytale.
