Today, for those passengers who have pre-booked, our optional excursion takes you to the world famous resort of St. Moritz. Sporting life has always been an important part of St. Moritz, and over 100 years ago the first British visitors used to stage Toboggan races in the streets.
There will be a short amount of time for you to explore before we 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, where we spend a short amount of free time before returning to our hotel.
A ride on the Bernina Regional Railway is highly recommended and extremely popular, therefore we recommend that this excursion is booked in advance. The cost is from £64 per person. Please ask for details when booking this holiday.

Lake Como was beautiful and the ferry boats were frequent.Some if the excusions were not worth the money and the coach to and from desinations were too long.the hotel was good but there was an issue with some of the food especialy the meat courses which were not always edible.Other than the issues found we enjoyed our time there. The drivers Graham and Nick were very professional and friendly and knowledgeable.

Holiday was everything we hoped for except the food at the hotel. Food was tasteless and nearly always lukewarm or cold tinned potatoes weren't very nice either. Otherwise, hotel, staff and accommodation were excellent. Coach drivers really looked after us very well, hats off to Nick and Graham for negotiating those narrow roads and hairpin bends so well. Would travel with them again any day! Thanks for a lovely 20th wedding anniversary holiday 👍🙂🙂
