There are trains which are “only” means of transport. Sometimes they are ugly and dirty, other times they are luxurious and equipped with all comforts. There are those which are in eternal delay and those who are different from the others due to their impeccable punctuality.
And then there are those who go beyond all of this, go beyond the concept of travel, and make passengers forget that they are on board and project them into something they will preserve for life.
A timeless brand. The Trenino Rosso is one of these. The experience is fascinating at any time of year. You become a participant of the rise of the Bernina Express. We are not just travellers who move from one point to another but we become an integral part of the trip, at that moment we are the train and if you have the opportunity to travel in the panoramic carriages we are even more immersed in the amazing spaces that the train conquers with its slow travel. Making the experience on Trenino Rosso means to recover a style of travel with a historical flavor and as pioneers of travel. , this is one of the trips whose value is in the journey and not in the destination.
A truly unique experience … The Bernina red train gives you the opportunity to dive into nature and to admire unconventional landscapes. In summer with the convertible cars is a really out of the world trip , in winter it is totally different but still beautiful, with ice and snow everywhere. The beauty of this railway is its height, the differences in altitude crossed give a way to see how nature changes.
The atmosphere of the Trenino Rosso is already breathed from Tirano, where the journey of the railway starts. The journey through the town, close to the houses, is surprising. Just out of the center, a new wonder: an expanse of crops, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries as far as the eye can see. Then you arrive at the famous helical viaduct of Brusio, a fun but necessary construction in order to overcome the slope and to start ascenting the mountain. It is normal that the enthusiasm grows kilometer after kilometer, until reaching Lake Poschiavo, “where the Miralago stop gives a breathtaking view of the Valtellina. You continue ascenting and you can see the woods that give way to high mountain pastures where you can see hikers everywhere. Once you reach the Bernina Pass, you start the descent until Saint Moritz. Without any doubt an experience beyond our expectations. The photos taken will never represent the beauty of the places seen.”
Our proposals are for those who want to do this type of experience are a lot.
A day trip departing from Milan at seven o’clock in the morning, free time for lunch and departure for St. Moritz at 12:50
At least two or three days, with a trip in Valtellina or in Lake Como. Then it is the turn of the Trenino Rosso with a stop in St.Moritz that always is required by everyone, with the opportunity to include a stop in Livigno, especially in summer.
Even more days with a tour of the main Swiss cities and the Trenino Rosso is the final gem or the starting point. Many groups in central and southern Italy choose the Alps for a holiday of nature with snowy landscapes.
A product for foreigners visiting Milan. They really like it, especially those who come from far away, to say that they have been in Europe and visited the most fascinating panoramic train in Europe.
