    What is the best way to get from the Zurich Airport to catch the Bernina Express to get down to Como, Italy? My flight get in at 7:50 am but there will be customs. My final destination is Bellagio. I am arriving on September 22nd (a Thursday).

    Thank you for any advice to a first time train traveler.

    Hi trotwood,

    I recommend to travel the Bernina Express line using regular trains, rather than trying to catch a official Bernina Express train. There are only a few official trains per day as you can see here, and you won’t be in time to catch the best ones leaving from Chur and Davos. You can best use the Swiss timetable and find yourself a connection using the regular trains via Chur and Tirano.

    I hope this helps you out!
