I am traveling in October , I would like to see the Swiss Alps. I have heard of the Bernini Train and Glacier Express as a way to do this.
I have a home in Italy ; I am looking to fly into Zurich from the US. Any suggestion on Flying into Zurich and finding my way to the train station.
Any suggestions on Glaciers and castle to visit.
thanks

There is a train station right at Zurich airport. Just follow the train icons.
If you want to take the Bernina Express to Italy, there is a direct train to Chur at 23 past the hour every hour, and connections via Zurich HB (main station) at other times. From Chur you can take the Bernina Express train to Tirano, Italy. There is atleast one glacier to be seen along the way. From Tirano, there is a train to Milan every hour that travels along the east shore of Lake Como.
If you want more time in Switzerland, we can always suggest other scenic train rides in Switzerland.

Sam, what other train rides would you suggest? Also, would you also please suggest a town that would be good to "base" from to rides the trains.
Thanks for your advice
