    I am thinking about taking the regional train from Tirano to Spachingen with an overnight stop in Chur.

    Do all trains on this line go the same route as Bernina express?

    I believe I can have one stop over (overnight). ?
    looks like tickets for 2 (one senior) are €9.8- would that be correct? I

    I can book seats from Chur to Zurich but not from Tirano to Chur?

    Hi Vickster,

    Welcome to MySwissAlps.

    Local trains between Tirano and Chur travel along the Bernina and Albula railways. This is the same route as the Bernina Express train. You can find further details about the route here: https://www.myswissalps.com/activity/bernina-express/

    Based on your travel plans,  I suggest the following option:

    Tirano to Chur with local train via the Bernina Express route

    Overnight in Chur

    Chur – Zurich

    Zurich – Spaichingen via Singen

    You can check train schedules on the Swiss timetable: https://www.myswissalps.com/travel/public-transport/timetable/

    You can purchase your tickets direct Tirano to Spaichingen, Germany online: https://www.myswissalps.com/travel-guide/germany-switzerland/

    I’m not so sure about the ticket price but it might be more than 9.80 Euro for the whole journey.

    Best regards,

    Anna
