Note: This event has already passed.

The Bernina Express is an impressive train that links northern and southern Europe in a beautiful way. This exceptional ride travels past glaciers and blends southern joie de vivre (joy of living) with Alpine nature.

We will board the Bernina Express in Tirano and enjoy a spectacular train ride through the Alps. Afterward, we will take a cable car up 3,000 feet to enjoy a lunch of local cuisine located at a sky-scraping elevation. Once we're finished, you'll have free time to explore on your own prior to our return.
