Traveling the Bernina Express from Tirano to Chur

Anonymous · 2023-03-12T18:53:02+01:00

We will be travelling to Switzerland by train from Milan. Is it possible to plan a trip from Milan to Interlaken that includes a ride on the Bernina Express? I can get us to Tirano; then I'd like to travel north on the Bernina to Chur, and from there, take another train to Interlaken (I anticipate that this will make for a long day). It sounds like the Bernina Express runs from Tirano to Chur, but I can't find a timetable anywhere that tells me when the train departs; all the of timetables seem to show the southbound schedule only. Thanks in advance for your help.
