We want to take the Bernina Express from tirano, italy to chur, switzerland. We are seeing different conflicting schedules on eurail and the swiss railway. We want to take this trip on June 15, 2016. Thank you for your assistance.

carfino,
I wouldn't suggest using the Eurail website, as it's not the most reliable. Try this website, as this is the firm that operates the train....

The Bernina Express is merely one of many trains that operate on this route. The Bernina Express is a tourist-orientated train with panoramic windows. All rail lines in Switzerland, including this one, have an hourly service (or more) of regular trains that do not require a reservation. The mountains you see are the same. The only disadvantage of the normal trains is you have to change trains to get from Tirano to Chur.
You can look up the times (and prices) of all the trains on this and every other rail route in Switzerland on the Swiss Railways website: www.sbb.ch
