Bernina Express
Cross the Alps from North to South (or vice-versa) in style! The Bernina Express offers breath-taking vistas from the beautiful 1st and 2nd class panorama cars. Ride over graceful viaducts, through galleries hewn into the sheer rock, through switch-back tunnels, along rushing mountain streams, glaciers and even an alpine garden.
The train climbs up the 2253 metre high Bernina Pass and the entire trip is narrated. Food is available to buy on the train.
In summer, an optional extension to your trip is available - a bus connects Tirano (Italy) to Lugano. Seat reservations are mandatory for connections. Make sure you take valid entry documents for Italy as you leave and re-enter Switzerland on this trip.
