Description
This Lake Como cruise and Bernina Red Train day trip packs lake, resort and mountain railway into a single day. A coach with a professional guide takes you north to the shore of Lake Como, where a private boat is waiting for a cruise on calm water early in the day.
From the deck you look at lakeside villages such as Bellagio and at some of the famous villas along the shore. Back on the coach, the road continues towards Switzerland and St. Moritz. Here there is a walking tour of the town and some time to browse its shops before the train.

The last part of the day belongs to the Bernina Red Train, one of the highest railways in the Alps. It climbs past glaciers to 2,256 metres above sea level and winds through a landscape that begs for photographs. At the end of the line the coach is waiting to bring you back to Milan.
The itinerary can change to keep the day running smoothly, and the train may end at Thusis instead of Tirano.
