Train from Paris to Lake Como (Varenna)

Hello,

We are planning on taking the train from Paris to Varenna so we may stay a couple of days in the Lake Como area. We would like to go thru the Swiss Alps, via the Bernina Express route, if possible and are wondering if it can be done in one day and if so how and how long of a trip it is?

We appreciate any and all feedback that you may have and thank you in advance,

Harry

Yes, it can be done. With an early start it would take 13+ hours per current schedule.
Leave Paris Gare de Lyon on the 7:23 TGV to Zurich. Then change to Chur, change to St Moritz, change to Tirano (Bernina Express), change to Varenna arriving at 8:36 pm.
