    Hello,

    We are planning our honeymoon for March 2018. I am seeking advice on taking the Bernina Express from Tirano to Chur, and then train on to Paris. I am looking for information on timing/schedules, and where to stay 1 or 2 nights along the way. Given it will be winter, what will the schedule be and what will be open? Any thoughts on how best to do this would be appreciated! Thank you.

    Hi Akthede,

    Welcome to MySwissAlps! The schedules for next year will become available by mid/late October. But you can check schedules for this year to get an idea of the options. The links below help you out:

    Personally I’d stay in or near St. Moritz as it might still be snowy there in March, and you’ll be surrounded by mountains. Next, you can take a regular train to Chur. Switch for Zurich there, and finally switch to the TGV Lyria train to Paris.
