Why Take the Bernina Express?

The Bernina Express is a must-do for anyone seeking a truly singular travel experience. It is consistently ranked as one of the world's most spectacular train journeys, celebrated for its UNESCO World Heritage status which recognises the railway’s brilliant technical integration with the majestic alpine scenery.

Unlike a typical rail line, the Bernina route is an engineering marvel, climbing to the high Bernina Pass (2,253 metres) without the use of a cogwheel. Passengers travel in modern carriages featuring oversized panoramic windows, ensuring an ideal and comfortable viewing platform for the continuous, breathtaking scenery, from high-altitude glaciers to sun-drenched Italian valleys. Taking this train is the definitive way to experience the vast scale and beauty of the Alps.
