Preparing the journey
Plan the outward trip, stopovers and return
Table of Contents
Tirano to St Moritz
Tirano is in Italy. From there, the Bernina Line climbs through Val Poschiavo and across the Bernina Pass into the Engadin. For a day trip, plan not only the outward journey but also your return or overnight stay. In particular, check whether the offer ends in St Moritz or returns to Tirano.
St Moritz to Tirano
In the other direction, the journey begins in the Engadin and ends south of the border. If you continue to Milan, Como or another Italian destination, compare the planned arrival with your next connection. A single rail ticket does not include an onward transfer unless it is explicitly listed.
Regional trains for stopovers
A regional train makes it easier to break the journey in Pontresina, Ospizio Bernina or Poschiavo. Check whether your specific ticket permits these breaks. A Bernina Express panoramic seat, by contrast, is tied to the reserved service.
Crossing the border
The route crosses between Switzerland and Italy. Carry the required travel documents for everyone in your party and check current official rules if any passenger has particular residence or visa conditions.

Common questions
Does a day ticket automatically cover both directions?+
Not because of the name alone. Check the included direction and whether a return journey is explicitly stated.
Do I need a reservation on a regional train?+
The mandatory Bernina Express reservation applies to the panoramic coach. An ordinary regional train requires a valid travel ticket but not this supplement.
Can I break the journey in Poschiavo?+
That depends on the ticket. A flexible route product may allow stopovers, while a reserved service or tour follows the booked itinerary.
Which direction do you need?
Compare tickets from Tirano and from St Moritz separately before buying.
