Palm Express Lugano to Pontresina

Posted by on

I am having trouble reserving two seats or even finding a schedule from Lugano to Pontresina (St Moritz if no stop ) on the Palm Express. The only schedule that comes up on the post bus site is the St. Mortiz to Lugano route or the train route from Lugano to Pontresina (St. Moritz).

In the Rick Steves book its states there is a daily route in season leaving Lugano train station at 12:05 from Lugano train station bus #631, using webcode 10037- but the only thing that comes out is the St.Mortiz to Lugano service when this information is inputed.

Please advise I would like to reserve two seats or July 31. Thank you in advance.

I was just able to get to the payment page for the Lugano to Pontresina "Palm Express" for June 20 at the following:
https://shop.rhb.ch/en/catalog/product/view/id/18

Cost was 104 CHF including seat reservation fee. Departure from Lugano Stazione at 10:00 am on the bus to Tirano, then connection on the Bernina Express to Pontresina.

It is a bus, not a train, and it only runs once daily, between Lugano and St Moritz. If you want to get to Pontresina, you then get a train from St Moritz.
Bus timetable here: https://www.fahrplanfelder.ch/fileadmin/fap_pdf_fields/2019/90.631.pdf

Depart Lugano station 15:31, arrive St. Moritz 18:56
Runs daily 7th June to 21 October, Friday Saturday and Sunday only the rest of the year.

Go to the SBB website: https://www.sbb.ch/en/
and enter Lugano to Pontresina for your desired date, and you can see the end-to-end times. You can also buy tickets there
