Ride the Bernina Express This December 🚆❄️

If you’re looking for a magical winter escape this December, the Bernina Express is one of the most scenic train journeys in the world - and you can experience it from just £379pp including flights, hotel and the full-day escorted tour from Milan.

Each DIY Travel Idea includes:

• ✨ Return flights from the UK or Dublin
• ✨ 3 nights in a 4★ central Milan hotel, just steps from Milano Centrale station
• ✨ A full-day Bernina Express tour: Milan → St Moritz (free time for shopping & sightseeing) → panoramic train to Tirano → return to Milan by coach

Flying into Milan

• Milan Malpensa (MXP): About 50 minutes from Milan Centrale by train (Malpensa Express). Trains run every 15 minutes.
• Milan Linate (LIN): Only 20 minutes from Milan Centrale by airport bus or taxi — super convenient for city breaks.
• (We’ve skipped Bergamo flights this time, as many travellers found it too far from Milan!)
