About Tirano
Tirano is where the Valtellina valley meets the Alps, and the town's station is the launch point for one of Europe's most photogenic rail journeys. The Bernina line climbs from these platforms into glaciers and high passes, and photographers can ride it on the From Milan: St. Moritz & Alps Day Trip on the Bernina Red Train, which earns a strong 4.7 rating from over two thousand reviews, or on the Bernina Red Train from Colico Station: a Day Between Italy and Switzerland for a route that starts closer to home. Each option is bookable with free cancellation, so you can commit once the mountain

Frequently asked questions
The Bernina line itself is the main draw: the Brusio spiral viaduct, the Alp Grüm terrace above the Palü glacier, and the Ospizio Bernina pass all reward early and late light. In Tirano, the basilica and the valley walls catch warm light in the evening. Ride an early departure to reach the high sections before the day-trippers arrive.
