Ascend almost 3,000 meters to Diavolezza for a glacier‑framed lunch, then ride the UNESCO-listed Bernina Red Train through alpine viaducts to Tirano. This day trip from Milan balances high‑mountain panoramas with effortless transport and cultural crossover.

The cable car stitches you upward in minutes; below, the Morteratsch Glacier unwinds like a slow, silver river, and mountain faces seem to lean in to watch.
