Day trip from Bergamo to Bernina Express
A traveler named Janet is planning a trip in March and wants to take the Bernina Express from Bergamo, Italy. They are looking for the easiest way to connect to the train and wondering if they need to go through Milan or if there are closer options. Getting to Tirano seems to be the best route for this journey.
- Take a train from Bergamo to Tirano via Monza for a quick connection to the Bernina Express.
- Consider taking a bus from Lugano to Tirano, though it may take longer.
- If the full trip feels overwhelming, enjoy the scenic ride from Tirano to Pontresina and then head back.

I like to see my options on a map:

Tirano looks like the closest connection.
3 and 1/2 hours by train from Bergamo via Monza.
There is also a poular bus from Lugano to Tirano. It looks like that would be a very long trip, passing through Monza anyway.
The time table may help you:

Thankyou very much for this information..it does seem that the journey in a day is a bit daunting!

The section from Tirano to Pontresina is pretty nice. You could consider just doing that part, then retracing your steps. Still a long day.
