• Day 4 - Free Time or Bernina Regional Railway

  Enjoy some more free time in Davos today to explore at leisure, or join our optional excursion on the Bernina Regional Railway.

  We will board the Bernina Regional Railway and cross one of the highest railroad lines in the Alps. As we approach the Swiss/Italian border, we travel over the Brusio spiral viaduct, an amazing feat of engineering that allows the train to gradually descend 20 metres in a relatively short distance.

  We arrive in Tirano, a quaint Italian town, before returning to our hotel.

  A ride on the Bernina Regional Railway is highly recommended and extremely popular, therefore must be booked in advance. Please ask for details when booking this holiday.’

  We continue our journey by coach to our hotel near Lake Geneva for a three-night stay.
