Bernina Express Train Tickets with Reserved Seats

About this experience

Bernina Express Train Tickets with Reserved Seats The Bernina Express offers one of Switzerland's most spectacular rail journeys, connecting Chur to the Italian town of Tirano via the glamorous resort of St Moritz. This UNESCO World Heritage railway line crosses the Alps through dramatic mountain passes, glacial valleys and engineering marvels that showcase the best of alpine scenery. Your journey begins in Chur, Switzerland's oldest town, before climbing through pristine alpine landscapes to reach the Bernina Pass at 2,253 metres. The route features the famous Landwasser Viaduct, a masterpiece of railway engineering, and offers stunning views of the Palü Glacier and the turquoise waters of Lago Bianco. The train then descends through spiralling tunnels to Tirano, where Mediterranean-style landscapes await. The panoramic coaches feature oversized windows that frame the changing landscapes, from snow-capped peaks to terraced vineyards. Air-conditioned carriages include free Wi-Fi and charging ports, whilst the InfoTainment app provides audio commentary and live route mapping throughout your journey.
