Which Bernina Express tour from Milan should I book?
For most visitors the Bernina Train & St. Moritz Day Trip is the best balance of price and experience. On a budget, take the Bernina Red Train; for two sights in one day, add the Lake Como cruise; for comfort, book the private car.
Can I just buy Bernina Express tickets instead of a tour?
Yes — the Tirano–St. Moritz return day-ticket (from about €100) covers the reserved panoramic train if you make your own way to Tirano. A full day tour from Milan adds the transfers and a host. See the cost page.
