Whar a fantastic train ride. I have traveled on the Bergen line between Oslo and Bergen in Norway many times and also traveled on the Flåm railway which were both absolutely stunning but your tour must have been on another level. The landscape reminded me sometimes of a Toblerone commercial and sometimes of a perfect model railway. Can‘t wait to se the next leg of your journey next saturday
During the summer, after arriving in Tirano with the Bernina Express coming from Chur, it is possible to continue towards Lugano with a red bus of the Rhaetian railway, also called BERNINA EXPRESS. Same thing in the opposite direction. It is included in the price of the Eurrail pass, Interrail pass, Swiss Travel Pass and similar. Only seat reservation, mandatory, is not included. The Tirano railway station of the Rhaetian railway, although it is in Italy, is considered Swiss territory, therefore Swiss VAT applies to tickets, souvenirs etc. sold at the counter. Luggage shipped from Switzerland to Tirano is not subject to customs declaration.

Thanks, it was amazing. The weather cleared up too which really helped. Would love to travel through Norway one day, it’s on the list
