Hello,
In May I will be traveling from Munich to Milan via train. I was thinking about taking the train route through Switzerland and stopping for a day or two, as I have never been there. I will be on a strict time schedule so 1-2 days would be the max time I have, unfortunately. My question is, does anyone know if there is a stop along the way that would be the best/most worth my time? Or possibly a route that offers the best views? Thanks in advance!
Bernina Route. Only route across the Alps that goes over the top (not in tunnels).
Day 1: Munich - Chur - St Moritz
Day 2: St Moritz - (Bernina Route) - Tirano - Milan

The only rail line in the world that is a UNESCO world heritage site. Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNPbokfyotY
