Greetings,
I'll be traveling to Italy for about a month this winter (December-January), and am interested in taking a day trip from Milan to Switzerland. My time in Milan is relatively limited, so it would need to be just the day trip... no overnight in Switzerland.
I found a few guided tours on the Bernina Express, but no offerings on Mondays, which seems like the best day to go as many museums in Milan are closed. Any advice on a "do it yourself" tour? I don't have my heart set on any particular destination, as I'd mostly be taking the trip to appreciate the amazing scenery.
Also, I have not previously traveled between countries in this way (ie, outside of airports). Are passports checked?
Thank you in advance - any advice you offer is greatly appreciated.
Stacy
