“I WOKE UP THIS MORNING TO THE MOST STUNNING VIEW OF THE MOUNTAINS FROM MY BEDROOM WINDOWWITH THE SNOW-TOPPED PEAKS POKING OUT THE TOP OF THE FLUFFY CLOUDS, AND THE ONLY SOUND I COULD HEAR WHEN OPENING THE WINDOWWAS BIRDS TWEETING, FABULOUS.”
DAY 3 After some delicious pastries for
breakfast we strolled down the cobbled street to the piazza where there was a Saturday market selling meats, cheeses, clothes, and gifts, which was lovely as we were surrounded by the local people going about their weekend chores. After this we got a train to Lugano where we picked up the Bernina Coach to Tirano, an Italian town right on the Swiss border. During the journey we passed Lake Como which looked beautiful with the sun shimmering on the water as we passed, and on arrival into Tirano we had a delicious lunch of handmade pasta. After lunch we climbed aboard the Bernina Express, one of the most beautiful rail journeys in Switzerland. The scenery during the four-hour journey to Chur was just incredible; passing snow topped mountains, vast forests, shimmering lakes, quaint little towns, beautiful bridges, twists and turns, and amazing views back down the mountains. On arrival in Chur we checked into our final hotel of the trip, Romantik Hotel Stern, which is a gorgeous hotel in the
The Bernina Express
centre of the town, full of character and just a few minute’s stroll from the old town. The bed here was one of the comfiest I’ve ever slept in! DAY 4 I felt sad waking up to our final day in stunning Switzerland after the best few days. After (yet another) yummy breakfast we had a two-hour walking tour of Chur old town which is, like Bellinzona, just so cute and a lovely
place to have a stroll around. During our tour we saw Chur’s cathedral which looked quite ordinary from the outside but jaw-droppingly beautiful on the inside. We also had the chance to go into a lovely little traditional and family-run bakery and chocolate shop which just smelt delightful! After stocking up on plenty of Swiss chocolate we headed back to the airport to travel home.
