Detailed Itinerary

Arrival at Zurich airport and travel by train to Chur.

In the morning go to the train station in Chur. The most spectacular crossing of the Alps awaits you: the Bernina Express from Chur (Switzerland) to Tirano (Italy) connects regions and linguistic cultures, in serpentine lines and without cogwheels. In Tirano you will have free time to have lunch and you can see beautiful noble palaces from the XVI to XVIII centuries. This city is renowned for its baroque Marian shrine. Accommodation in Tirano.

In the morning return to the Bernina Express from Tirano to Chur. Free time to discover this beautiful site. The city of Chur (Coira) is located in the valley of the Rhine, at the meeting point between Latin and Germanic cultures. One of the most emblematic monuments of the city is the Roman-Gothic Cathedral. It is also worth visiting the Old City, the Museum of Recia, the art gallery, as well as the Natural Museum. Accommodation in Chur.

After breakfast we board the famous Glacier Express. From the comfort of a panoramic wagon we can enjoy the romantic landscapes of the Swiss Alps between Chur and Brig. The highlight of this trip is the ravine of the Rhine and the pass „Oberalp“(2,000 m.a.s.l). Enjoy the spectacular scenery of the Swiss winter. After arriving in Brig, continue by train to the city of Interlaken.

A cogwheel train takes you to the Jungfraujoch or best known as the „Top of Europe“, the highest railway station in Europe, at 3,454 meters. Ice and snow are guaranteed there throughout the year - an unforgettable experience. Return to Interlaken.
