The second leg of our Swiss rail adventure included visiting the pretty lake side city of Lucerne for lunch, two nights at the historic town of Chur and the trip highlight - a journey in the first class scenic carriages of the Bernina Express that took us over the Alps and across the Italian border to Tirano. Time in Italy clocked to just over two hours before we were back on the train to the resort town of St Moritz. After wandering through the quiet streets (it was off peak season), we headed back to our hotel with lasting memories of mountain scenery, snow covered peaks and meadows of lush grass and flowers.
