Day 1: Transfer day, to Valtellina.
Transfer from Milan to Tirano and your hotel for 3 nights. Plan to arrive at the airport in the morning.
Day 2: Bernina Express alpine train to St Moritz.
Leave after breakfast for the railway station. Alpine train to St. Moritz: a trip on the Alpine red train that crosses right over the alps to St Moritz where you can take a leisurely lunch before returning by train. In his essential guidebook for Alpine train travelers, Switzerland by Rail, Anthony Lambert writes: This line is the highest rail crossing of the Alps, helping to make it one of Europe's outstanding train journeys. Where else can you travel from glaciers to palm trees in two hours? In summer open-air cars enable passengers to experience the views and glorious air without the interference of glass, making it perfect for photographers.Our Comment: The climb is made even more astonishing by the fact that it is achieved without rack assistance [cogwheels], compelling the builders to devise tortuous loops and spirals to gain or lose height. Sit on the right." View photos of the Bernina Express.
Day 3: A day in the mountain spa of Bormio.
Leave after breakfast for Bormio Old Spa. A day of relaxtion and pleasure in the ancient natural Roman Spa in Bormio where you can laze away the day in the hot water pools and treatments of one of Italy's most famous spa's. Soothe away the aches, pains and stresses of day to day life. Our Comment: The oldest spa in Bormio, known and used from Roman times, is Bagni Vecchi, that dominates from the heights of Mount Reit, right from the source of the hot springs. View photos of Bormio Spa.
Day 4: Transfer day, back to Milan-Bergamo.
Allow time for the 2h45 train transfer back to Bergamo. Plan to take an afternoon flight back.
