A simple round-trip day ticket for the red Bernina train from Tirano to St. Moritz, with a timetable and a mini-guide to the stops so you can plan your own day on the line.
This is the most flexible way to ride the Bernina line from Tirano: a round-trip day ticket on the red train, with a timetable and a short guide to the stations along the way.
The listing gives Tirano departures at 07:41, 09:00, 09:41, 11:00, 11:41, 13:00 and 13:14, so you can pick a train that suits you. You go straight to the platform: no office to find and no voucher to swap.
Use the mini-guide to decide where to linger. The listing says you can leave the train at a station and catch a later one. Alp Grüm, high above Val Poschiavo with a view of the Palü Glacier, and Ospizio Bernina by Lago Bianco are two well-known places to break the journey.
Green meadows, a lake and the old town of Poschiavo on the Swiss side of the border.
A tiny station high above the valley, with a view across to the Palü Glacier.
The top of the line at 2,253 metres, beside a high mountain lake.
The glacier and the Bernina peaks, seen as the train curves down to the Engadin.
Watch for the stone viaduct that loops in a full circle just above Tirano.
