St. Moritz and the Alps from Milan, with the Red Train
Who This Trip Suits
An 11 to 12.5-hour coach day from Porta Garibaldi in Milan to St. Moritz, with a choice of the Bernina red train down to Tirano or the Albula red train to the Landwasser Viaduct. Run by City Wonders, rated 4.6 from 2,318 reviews.
On the Bernina option the coach climbs to the Bernina Pass and St. Moritz for about an hour of free time, then the train takes you via Alp Grüm to Tirano for a short visit before the drive back. On the Albula option the train runs from St. Moritz to Filisur instead, with a stop at the Landwasser Viaduct viewpoint. Neither is first class, and seats in the carriage cannot be reserved in advance.
It is the lowest-priced guided day from Milan here, from $100 per person (checked October 2026), and it suits anyone who wants the ride without paying for extras. The trade-off is time: an hour in St. Moritz is short, and one recent reviewer missed having another hour there. Wheelchair users and people with reduced mobility should look elsewhere. For a longer day with Lake Como, the homepage tour adds a boat cruise.
