Most Beautiful Alpine View Bernina Express
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

Bernina - most scenic train in the world
Bernina Express is regarded as one of the most beautiful panoramic trains in the world. The Bernina Express is a direct train from Chur (Switzerland🇨🇭) to Tirano in Italy. This excursion should be included in your bucket list. My ride was back in November 19.
Why Bernina?
In just 4 hours (one way), you'll see stunning variations in the landscape, from high alpine scenery on the Bernina Pass to a Mediterranean atmosphere in the Poschiavo valley just before Tirano. The Landwasser Viaduct is a majestic sight. An impressive feat of engineering and construction, the viaduct was built in 1902 and features pillars that stand at a towering 65 metres.
En route to Tirano, trains do stop at Alp Grum. Alp Grüm can only be accessed by train or on foot. The station provides impressive panoramic views, sweeping across the Poschiavo Valley and drawing your eye to the Bergamasker Alps beyond.
How to get there? : Head to Chur from Zurich Main Station. The journey takes 1h 14m and departs every 30 minutes. Would advise to get early morning train since the first Bernina train starts at 08:32
How to get discount? : Swiss Travel Pass – Travel on the Bernina Express is included with the Swiss Travel Pass (seat reservation is required)
