So you’ve decided to trade in the high fashion of Milan for skiing in the Swiss Alps and want to know when to catch a train for Brig-Glis and how long it will take to get there. You’re in luck, as the trip is short, lasting roughly 2h with no transfers, though you’ll have to make sure you’re at the station on time. There are only 2 departures from Milan for Brig-Glis daily - one in the morning, the other in the afternoon - so if you miss your early morning train you’d better catch the last train out or you’ll be spending an extra night in Italy.
Exactly 2 trains from Milan to Brig-Glis run Sunday to Saturday; no more, no less, so make sure you have a back-up plan if you miss the afternoon train. The first train leaves around 07:20 a.m. for the early birds who want to hit the slopes right after a leisurely morning coffee. If you prefer to have lunch one last time before leaving Milan, the final train leaves around 01:05 p.m.
Even though you don’t have many options for getting from Milan to Brig-Glis, you won’t have to transfer and it’s a very quick trip. Despite the fact that you’re crossing an international border, Milan and Brig-Glis are only about 118 miles (190 km) from each other so you’ll only spend around 2h in transit no matter when you leave. The "fast" train is the one leaving in the morning, arriving after about 1h 56min, while the "slow" train is the one that departs in the afternoon and takes approximately 2h 9min to reach Brig-Glis.
Departure train station: Both trains from Milan to Brig-Glis leave from Milan Centrale. As the name suggests, this is the main station serving Milan and by volume is the largest railway station in Europe. If large stations intimidate you, you’ll want to check it out before your departure, as again, you only have two chances per day to make the trip to Brig-Glis. Milan Centrale is about 1.8 miles (2.9 km) northeast from the city’s center. This is roughly a 40min walk if you’re feeling athletic, though you can easily take a taxi, subway, or bus to get there. The station has just about anything you could need before your departure: a ticket office and ticket machines, ATMS, shops, cafes, bars, a lost luggage office, and a supermarket.
Arrival train station: Brig station is a mere 0.2 miles (0.35 km) from the center of the city, so there’s no need to look for a cab. It has a range of amenities at both the track and city levels, including a bike rental office, currency exchange, shops, luggage office, restaurants, bars, lost and found, ticket office, Western Union, restrooms, and even a beauty salon. It also offers free Wi-Fi, lockers in multiple sizes, and numerous ways to assist people with mobility issues, whether it involves boarding, disembarking, or maneuvering around the station.
There is only one train company providing service between Milan and Brig-Glis, which should make it easy to remember which line you’re looking for. EuroCity runs on the Trenitalia line but is not part of the national Italian train company. This shouldn’t come as a surprise, since you’re planning to travel from Italy to Switzerland, and while both countries are part of the European Union, they are still separate countries. Since it’s a straight shot from Milan to Brig-Glis by train you won’t have to worry about catching the right Swiss once you leave the station, as you’ll already be on it.
As an international trainline, EuroCity must meet specific criteria in terms of providing food service, speed, cleanliness, and comfort in order to operate across borders. Among other specifications, their trains must run at 56 mph (90 km per hour) or higher; they must offer food and beverages (a dining car is preferred); conductors must speak at least two languages, with a requirement that one of the two languages must be French, English, or German; and cars must be air conditioned. They also stop only at stations in major European cities and those stops can’t last more than 5min. EuroCity runs two trains from Milan to Brig-Glis, both of which are nonstop and take around 2h. The first leaves around 07:20 a.m. and the last leaves around 01:05 p.m.
EuroCity trains previously only offered first class tickets to passengers, but you now have the option of purchasing a second class ticket to save some extra cash. With both of these classes you will enjoy armchair seating, storage space at the end of your car, and bistro service, though you’ll get extra room in first class. Each class has its own fare, with a second class fare being fully refundable, though you will need to check the policies in whichever country you start out. Remember, this is international travel, so cancellation or refund policies are likely to differ and could easily change. First class tickets are fully refundable and fully exchangeable, though again, check your country of departure for their specific policies. EuroCity trains offer services to assist the disabled and those with mobility issues and you can bring your bike on certain trains in certain countries. Pet policies can vary between countries, so you may want to leave your friend at home.
With only two trains running daily, finding cheap train tickets from Milan to Brig-Glis will really come down to what you’re bringing with you and whether you want a first or second class seat. Do your travel plans necessitate that your ticket be both fully refundable and fully exchangeable, or will you settle for just refundable? Do you need to bring a bike or a pet, as doing so may incur extra charges? Are you sure your alarm will go off in time for you to make the morning train so you won’t have to worry about buying another ticket on the afternoon train, or having to shell out more money for a hotel until the following day? You’ll want to factor all of these things into buying your ticket, as you don’t want your trip unnecessarily complicated by having to pay more to make it to Brig-Glis because you missed one of the only two trains running. Book in advance as much as you can, and be flexible with your dates if the day or time you want to travel is sold out. Above all, enjoy your trip!
