Forget the 50-seat buses with bilingual guides… and forget the ‘private tours’ with drivers who don’t speak English. This is the Bernina small tour the right way: in a luxury van with hotel pickup and drop-off. No rush, no stress

Your driver is also your guide — one of the owners of Abroads Tours, Milan’s top-rated boutique operator. Expect real storytelling, insider tips, and a personal touch you won’t find elsewhere.

Enjoy Lake Como views en route to Tirano, then ride the legendary Bernina Express through the Alps to glamorous St. Moritz. Hear stories of Swiss culture, Alpine history, and how this tiny village became the world’s first luxury winter resort.

This isn’t a “cheap seat” excursion. It’s a premium small-group experience, hosted personally by the people who care most about your trip — us. If you want a day you’ll actually remember, this is it.

Tirano offers many options for a delicious lunch made out of fresh ingredients. Along our way to Tirano, our knowledgeable guide will share with you many tips about the life of the small rural population, alpine life and traditions and the local history of one of the biggest alpine valleys.

    Only a 25 km train ride brings travelers from the orchards and palm trees in Tirano to the glaciers of the Bernina Pass at 2,253 meters. The valley is surrounded by 3,000-meter-high peaks on both sides, the highest of which, the Piz Palü, reaches 3,900 meters. Three climate and vegetation zones are represented here, from extreme cold and snowy to Mediterranean, which provide a wide range of agricultural products. From the top of the Bernina train line, the view over Poschiavo Valley is unbelievable.

    St. Moritz

    Explore St. Moritz - a destination that attracts visitors year-round — and not just because it averages 300 days of sunshine annually. The resort town is renowned as one of the first winter tourism destinations, and It twice hosted the Winter Olympic games. The St. Moritz name and logo are the oldest tourism logos still used today and are listed as registered trademarks. In winter, the frozen Lake St. Moritz is an arena for horse racing, ice skating, snow polo, and skijoring. In the summer, rowers, sailors, and fishermen take over.
