Afternoon,
I've used the forum search and have seen a few posts on the above, but hoping for some specific, easy access advice I can wave at people, so please indulge me.
I'll be on Lake Como in a couple of weeks; sadly not rail connected but we are with chariot! My partner was hunting for birthday presents for her dad and - without any prompting I might add!!! - found the Bernina Express. Naturally I'd be delighted with this as a holiday activity...!
The important caveats are:
I wonder if anyone with recent experience or local knowledge might be able to advise on this and other matters? Is the extra cost worth it? The long-range weather forecast is middling at the moment - would this have an impact? What experience would a non-enthusiast have just on a regional train? And so on.
All views welcome!
Dave

The important caveats are:
- as a birthday treat money is less of an object than most travel
- neither my partner nor her parents are in anyway exercised about trains.
