This spectacular route, which has earned its place as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, connects the Swiss resort town of St. Moritz to the Italian town of Tirano, offering passengers an unparalleled experience through some of the most breathtaking alpine landscapes.
As the train winds its way through the Swiss Alps, travelers are treated to panoramic views of sparkling glaciers, lush forests that seem to have leapt from a fairy tale, and crystal-clear alpine lakes that reflect the towering peaks surrounding them. The panoramic carriages are designed to offer a full view of the scenery, ensuring that every twist and turn of the journey brings a fresh perspective of the stunning environment.
The highest point of the Bernina Express is the Bernina Pass, which sits at a breathtaking altitude of 2,253 meters (7,391 feet) above sea level. From here, the view stretches out across the snow-covered peaks and rugged alpine landscapes, leaving visitors in awe of the dramatic beauty that unfolds before them.
No matter the season, the Bernina Express is a wonder to experience. In winter, the snow-covered vistas create a picture-perfect postcard scene, where the white peaks contrast against the deep blue of the sky. In the warmer months, the green valleys and meadows are a stunning contrast to the crystal-clear waters of the alpine lakes, making each journey unique and unforgettable.
