Dubbed the rail experts' best-kept secret, the Bernina Express connects Switzerland with northern Italy through the breathtakingly beautiful Alps. Having been showing this spectacular country to our customers since 1977, we have built up decades of expertise in curating unforgettable holidays.
One of Switzerland's most-loved trains is the Bernina Express. Winding 90 miles from historic Chur to the Italian town of Tirano, much of this stunning route is a UNESCO World Heritage site dating from 1904. Relax in comfort as this iconic train passes through wild gorges and pristine alpine landscapes as you admire views of ethereal glaciers and jaw-dropping manmade structures, including the curved Landwasser Viaduct and corkscrew Brusio Viaduct. While the scenery is arguably the star attraction, you can elevate your experience by upgrading to First Class. Relax in leather seats and more space as the unparalleled backdrops unfold outside the window. Join us to uncover why this spellbinding route is so popular.
Our deep-rooted knowledge of Switzerland's railway system, coupled with a passion for delivering exceptional travel experiences, makes us the go-to choice for your Bernina Express adventure. We not only offer incredible holidays; we create memories that last a lifetime.
The panoramic carriages of the Bernina Express provide unobstructed views of some of the Alps' most jaw-dropping scenery. From the snowy Swiss peaks to the rolling hills of the Italian countryside, sit back and appreciate your front-row seats to these natural wonders.
