Running between Switzerland and northern Italy, the Bernina Express is one of the world's most scenic train journeys. The complete four-hour rail journey from Chur to Tirano is UNESCO World Heritage-listed.
On Bernina Express holidays, you can admire the stunning views from the train's panoramic windows as you journey via the highest mountain railway in the Alps—a journey through 55 tunnels and over 196 bridges on your way to Tirano.

MARVELLOUS VIADUKT'S & GLORIOUS VIEWS
Ascend into the glacier-dominated region of Bernina itself, where the scenery becomes increasingly breathtaking. Admire the marvellous sights such as the Montebello curve with a view of the Bernina massif, three lakes Lej Pitschen and Lago Bianco.
The 142-meter-long and 65-meter-high Landwasser Viadukt is one of the railways' most famous sections. The beautifully curved 6-arched bridge with colossal stone pillars is undoubtedly one of the most photographed sights on a Bernina Express rail holiday.
Another famed viaduct on the Bernia Express train tour is the unique Brusio Circular Viaduct, built to descend the train in a short space of time. Capture this marvellous sight as you journey around the tight bend before crossing under this fantastic sight.

BERNINA EXPRESS EXPERIENCE
There are two ways you can travel on a Bernina Express rail tour, choose from the following options:
Standard Class
Standard class seating on Bernina Express holidays are arranged two-by-two across the aisle; all seats are configured as part of a table for four people. All seats line up perfectly with the large panoramic windows, meaning that every passenger has a perfect view of the UNESCO-listed scenery.
First Class
First-class seats for Bernina Express tours are configured in a two-by-one arrangement across the aisle. There are fewer seats, so they are slightly larger, with more leg and elbow room and more space for luggage storage. Once again, all the seats line up perfectly next to the large panoramic windows to maximize the views of the stunning Swiss scenery.
You are guaranteed an incredible experience with outstanding views in whichever class you travel in. Speak to our expert team today to get prices for our Bernina Express rail holidays!
