Description

Climb to 2,253 m on the UNESCO Red Train, ride through the Brusio spiral viaduct and stroll around St. Moritz. GT coach from Milan, train and guide included: you just have to worry about the views.
Most trains go from A to B. The Bernina Red Train descends from 2,253 meters to the valley floor and shows you the Alps from an angle you'll never see by car. From Milano Centrale (Piazza Duca d'Aosta), you'll depart comfortably by coach – no transfers, no stress. As you skirt Lake Como and climb up to the Maloja Pass, with a stop in Colico, your guide prepares you for what you're about to see: not a list of names, but stories, fun facts and details that turn a journey into an experience. You arrive in St. Moritz, the heart of the Engadine and a symbol of alpine elegance. Take a tour of the town center with the guide, then have some free time to stroll along the lake or sit down for lunch. Then board the Red Train and begin the most beautiful part. A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2008, this line was built more than a century ago by hand, meter by meter, without a rack: the train conquers the gradient solely through the adhesion of its wheels. After the Morteratsch Glacier, the route takes you to the Bernina Hospice, the highest point at 2,253 meters, where Lake Bianco reflects the glaciers. Then comes the passage to Alp Grüm, at 2,091 meters: from the window, you can see the Palü Glacier and the entire Valposchiavo. It is the most isolated station on the route, only reachable by train. From there, you descend. Valleys, spiral tunnels, alpine lakes, villages that change language and architecture. The final highlight is the Brusio Spiral Viaduct: a stone circle on which the train turns around to descend. You won't forget it. Arrival in Tirano, a short stop for restrooms and photos, and return by bus to Milan – relaxed, with a full day's experiences already behind you.
