We took the Glacier Express from Zermatt to St Moritz and stayed at Waldhaus in Sils Maria one night. They will give you a free bus pass to Soglio (and several other places) You change busses in Promontogna to one that is about a 10 min ride to Soglio ( it only goes back and forth between the 2 towns)
When we got to Soglio we walked around and then went for a hike. Took the wrong trail and ended up in Promontogna and Bondo, walked around them, very neat villages. Took tons of pictures, it was nice weather just gorgeous.
We then stayed at Palazzo Salis one night (unbelievable) hiked the next day (on the correct trail!) had a late lunch and glass of wine in the Hotel's garden. Took the bus back to Waldhaus and stayed there another night.
This was our first trip ever using busses and trains and it was amazingly easy. And we don't speak German, or French or Italian! My guess is if you get to the general area you'll have no problem.

Welcome back! We just got back last night and had perfect weather as well. Cool, but that's great for hiking! Yes, the public transportation is the best in the world and a complete moron can figure it out in seconds. That's from personal experience, lol!! It's so much more relaxing than driving...kick back, have a beer and enjoy the ride. All those big postal buses are made by Mercedes-Benz and those drivers are used to the steep grades and hairpin turns.
