Keep your camera ready to capture the majestic Swiss Alps and the surreal beauty of the White Lakes from the comfort of your train carriage.
Finally, we arrive in the chic resort town of St. Moritz. Wander through its stylish streets, browse the boutiques, and treat yourself to a delicious lunch at your own pace. Afterwards, we'll journey back to Milan, retracing our steps and cherishing the memories of a truly magical day.
**Important things to know about the Bernina Express:**
* The train journey might be from Tirano to St. Moritz, or the reverse, depending on availability. Rest assured, the experience is equally amazing either way!
* **Which class are we in on the Red Train?** You'll be travelling in **second class**, which we believe is the BEST way to experience the Bernina Express. Here's why:
* **Second Class (Our Choice):** You'll have reserved seats and large, panoramic windows that *open*! This means you can feel the crisp mountain air and, most importantly, lean out to capture those incredible, Instagram-worthy photos you've seen in all the advertisements!
* **First Class:** Also has reserved seats and panoramic windows, but they *don't open*. This means you're stuck taking photos through the glass, which can be a bit of a bummer.
**Bottom line: Second class is the way to go for the best photo opportunities and an authentic experience!**
