Tirano to St. Moritz: self-guided Day trip on the red Bernina train

Your day trip begins and ends in Tirano. On the regional train, not the panoramic train of the Bernina Express (!!), you travel along the historic route of the Bernina railroad line, which was completed in 1908. On this journey, you will be traveling on the same route as the famous Bernina Express. The train reaches its highest point on the Bernina Pass in Ospizio Bernina (2253 m above sea level). It is the highest station on the Rhaetian Railway.

On this section of the Bernina Railway, you travel over UNESCO World Heritage buildings. It is considered a cross-border, joint Swiss-Italian World Heritage Site.

You plan your travel times yourself, the ticket is valid all day long on the entire route. You can get off as often as you like along the way and interrupt your journey to discover a place. You don't need a seat reservation for this train and are very flexible.

Depending on the connection, the train takes between 2:11 hours (RE9) and 2:30 hours (RE 19) from Tirano to St. Moritz. To ensure that you arrive back in Tirano around 19:00, it is best to take the train in St. Moritz, which departs between 16:30 and 17:00.

The last train leaves at 17:41, which will take you back to Tirano without changing trains. To be on the safe side, make sure you check the timetables on the SBB website on the day of your journey so that you don't miss the last train back to Tirano!

Practical information:

• Suitable for wheelchairs, baby carriages and dogs

The Brusio circular viaduct is particularly interesting. It is best to sit on the left-hand side when traveling towards St. Moritz. The train travels in a circle and climbs meter by meter until it has overcome the 143 meters. On the return journey, the spectacle is reversed. Here it travels downwards in a circle and you can see this best on the right-hand side.

• RhB trains increasingly have low-floor entrances (marked NF in the timetable).
• The SBB Callcenter Handicap organizes assistance when changing trains where platforms have not yet been raised and floors have not yet been adjusted. It helps you to prepare for barrier-free travel or if you need help en route.

• Small dogs up to 30 cm are free of charge if they remain in a transport container for the entire journey. This must be pushed under your seat.
• Dogs without a container and all dogs over 30 cm shoulder height require a valid dog ticket: half the price of 2nd class or the minimum fare (Dog Day Pass, Dog Pass). They must sit under the seat so that the passageway is not blocked for other passengers.

• Bring along: Passport or ID
• Check the timetables on the day of travel! You are responsible for ensuring that you do not miss the last train back to Tirano!
• Ticket not valid on the Bernina Express panoramic train
