[2025 Tirano ] Travel Guide for Bernina Express (Updated Aug)

#centraleurope The train journey was great as the train wound its way through mountainous terrain with some fantastic views. We'd been told that you could only reserve seats in the panoramic carriages and that all the seats in the Allegra were unreserveable. However, on the day we travelled all of the 1st class seats had been reserved for a group. We noticed on other trains that carriages had also been reserved. We had planned to sit at the front of the train to enhance the views but due to the block booking we couldn't do that

#familytrips2024 Boarding the iconic Bernina Express, we embarked on a journey through the breathtaking landscapes of the Swiss Alps. As the train wound its way through winding mountain passes and verdant valleys, we were treated to a spectacle of natural beauty unlike any other. The panoramic windows offered uninterrupted views of snow-capped peaks, shimmering lakes, and quaint alpine villages nestled amidst lush meadows. Crossing soaring viaducts and spiraling through tunnels, each twist and turn of the journey revealed a new vista more awe-inspiring than the last. Whether savoring gourmet cuisine in the onboard restaurant car or simply gazing out at the majestic scenery, every moment aboard the Bernina Express was a testament to the timeless allure of travel and exploration. Looking ahead, our next dream destination beckons: the vibrant cities and picturesque landscapes of Scandinavia. Envisioning the colorful streets of Copenhagen, the majestic fjords of Norway, and the fairytale castles of Sweden fills us with anticipation and excitement. We yearn to immerse ourselves in the rich cultural heritage of the region, from sampling Nordic cuisine to exploring ancient Viking ruins. Scandinavia promises a blend of history, natural beauty, and modern innovation, offering an unforgettable adventure for our family to cherish as we traverse this enchanting corner of the world.

The most highly regarded day trip to the Swiss Alps from Milan, Italy is via the Bernina Express. While you can visit the Alps more quickly by taking other trains, those trains are not open air, so much of your trip is spent in tunnels. If you want to SEE the Swiss Alps, the Bernina Express is the way to do it. The Bernina Express train winds up the mountain from an altitude of 429 to 2253. The views are spectacular. Words cannot do the landscape justice. Tips: Choose the second class if you like to open the window as the first class is a paranomic glass window that cannot be opened! And price is cheaper too 😜#berninaexpress #switzerland #2024wish

We took the Bernina Express from Tirano to Chur. Total Journey takes about 4 hours to complete. It covered many scenic landscapes, viaducts, bridges and mountain-top lakes and glacier falls Just remember if you are alighting off the train in between, you have approx 2mins to hop back on! If not the train is going to depart without you! We had someone in our train who did that and missed the train! There are complimentry stacks given, like the biscuits and tea! Complimentry wifi provided for all as well! You can follow the train's journey by connecting to their wifi and listen to the audio guide, while following thru the live updates of the train's speed and altitude.
