That’s brilliant, thank you 😊
Hi Nanette
The two stations in Tirano are indeed adjacent, and both are small terminal stations. If you have a little time, there is a pleasant café on the Italian terminus. There are good toilet facilities – free last time I was there – on the Bernina station, and a helpful ticket office / enquiry desk.
There are very good facilities such as restaurants and shops close by if you have a little longer in Tirano. It’s a pleasant smallish town. You’ll love the way the Bernina line train clangs its way through the streets when leaving Tirano.
Hope that helps
John
That’s really helpful, thank you
even more fun just up the line at Le Prese where the train goes along the main street tight up to restaurants, hotels, homes etc and really holds up the traffic as the the street is also the main road right through the middle of town
