Tirano, Italy, is a charming town tucked into the Italian Alps and an ideal place to begin an unforgettable mountain adventure. Our stay at the lovely Ostello del Castello made Tirano an especially memorable stop—and a wonderful staging point for riding the famous Bernina Express through some of the most spectacular scenery in Switzerland and Northern Italy.

Riding the Bernina Express to St. Moritz is one of the most spectacular train journeys in the world. This scenic rail adventure climbs through the Swiss Alps, crossing soaring viaducts, gliding past glaciers, and winding through postcard-perfect villages. From dramatic mountain views to engineering marvels, the Bernina Express delivers an unforgettable travel experience on the way to glamorous St. Moritz.
