If you arrive by car, the car park at the Punt Muragl lower station is free. ## Consejos ### The regional, not the Express It is the same track, runs more often and on the Bernina line it has windows that open. ### In winter, go up earlier The sun sets early: take the train back from Tirano early in the afternoon. ### Book dinner in good time Window tables at sunset are the first to go. ## Preguntas frecuentes ### Is it worth going to Tirano and back in the same day? Yes, if you like trains: it is four and a half hours seated, but the scenery changes from glacier to vineyard. ### Can it be done with the Swiss Travel Pass? The train, yes. The Muottas Muragl funicular accepts neither the pass nor Swiss discounts. ### Is the Panoramarestaurant open all year? No. In 2026-27 it is open from 19 December to 4 April, and in summer from June to October. ### Can you return to Zurich the same day? Yes, on the 20:59 train from Punt Muragl, which arrives after midnight. Better to sleep there.
