Our planned trip (In April) currently sees us going from Monterosso to Milan (1 night) > Brig* on a direct Eurocity train > connect to the Glacier Express towards Chur (1 night) > Bernina Express to Tirano > Varenna (3 nights)> Venice.
Milan isn’t that exciting so I was wondering if it was realistic to do Monterosso > Brig (1 Night) > Glacier Express to Chur (1 night or maybe even none) > Bernina Express to Varenna instead.
I think more time on the Glacier/Bernina runs may be better than a night in Milan. Is that reasonable, or not worth the effort to change things around?
I don't know if the Glacier Express leg adds a lot to the journey, as another alternative might be straight from Monteross To Chur (1 night) to Tirano to Varenna and add an extra night there.
Or am I just overthinking this and be satisfied with the current plan?
