Hi Brian,

Thank you for your reply.
Do you have to purchase a ticket for a wheelchair for the space on the seat where the wheelchair might go?
Or do you put the wheelchair in the guards van as luggage on The Bernina Express?
Where is the best place to bored The Bernina Express Milan, Lake Como, Torino?

Hi Brian,
There is a FAQ page here on traveling the Bernina Express with mobility issues. There is also a contact form which may be best to answer your question about luggage costs for a wheelchair.
The Bernina Express starts in Tirano, Italy and heads into Switzerland and Chur, so Milan and Lake Como aren’t on the route.
