    Hi Reema-

    How will you take the Bernina Express? Where will you start and where will you finish? In fact, to help us help you …where do you start and where do you finish your trip entire 3 day trip?

    Do you have a base city? Or, will you stay at various places?

    Ya my base city is Zurich . I planned the mount Tiflis from Zurich. But I am not sure about the Bernina express. So I am asking for suggestion.

    Actually in Zurich staying is too costly but I couldn’t find any better place to stay because all the tours most of it operate from zurich

    Hi Reema,

    It is a very long day if you try and take the Bernina Express from Zurich and return to Zurich at night – most tours are multi-day tours. The train to Chur is about 1.5 hours, then the Bernina Express trip itself is about 4 hours (departure times depend on the day but often around 09:00). From Tirano back to Zurich will take about 6 hours.

    You can learn more about the Bernina Express (including a link to the Bernina Express site for schedules here). You can also search for all train schedules on the Swiss railways timetable here.
