The Best of Switzerland & the Bernina Express Staying in the stylish yet tranquil resort of Klosters, well known for being the winter playground of the British Royals, our packaged itinerary includes a trip on the Bernina Express, visits to Davos and Chur and a full day in the delightful resort of St Moritz. PACKAGED ITINERARY Day 1 Arrival We arrive at our hotel in time for dinner. Day 2 Davos Driver’s Day Off Today we travel to Davos using our Davos/Klosters Inclusive card , which permits free train travel between Davos and Klosters. Why not board the Schatzalp funicular railway to the botanical gardens, which feature around 3,500 different flower species from all over the world at a height of 1,861 metres, or embrace the opportunity to visit the Jakobshorn Mountain on the other side of the valley. Day 3 Chur Old Town Today we make the journey along the valley to the regional capital, Chur. We spend this morning exploring what is believed to be the oldest town in Switzerland, including its car-free old town. With three major churches and cathedrals, Chur has a fascinating history. In addition, why not take the cable car up to the high plateau of Brambrüesch to enjoy the breathtaking panoramic views. We return to our hotel in the afternoon through the majestic alpine passes, passing beautiful lakes and mountains.

Day 4 St Moritz Today we drive through the ruggedly romantic countryside to Bergün where we visit the Albula Railway Museum before embarking on a rail journey from Bergün to St Moritz . This journey takes us through a series of magnificent circular tunnels as the train descends along either side of the famous gorge. We have free time to explore this stylish resort that sits 1,856 metres above sea level, before returning to our hotel. Day 5 Bernina Express Today we drive to Tiefencastel station to board the Bernina Express and embark on a one-way trip through the mountains to Tirano, Italy. We transverse dramatic viaducts and glide past rushing mountain streams, picture postcard villages and even a mountain garden. The train climbs up to the 2,253 metre high Bernina Pass, the magnificence of which is hard to translate into words! Our coach will meet us in Tirano for our return trip to our hotel.
