Cross the Alps from North to South (or vice-versa) in style! 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.
Routes
- Chur / Davos / St.Moritz - Bernina Pass - Poschiavo - Tirano
Conditions for Eurail Pass holders
Eurail Passes are valid on the entire Bernina-Express journey. Seat reservation (including a supplement) for both train and bus is compulsory. Eurail Pass holders must have a Pass valid for Switzerland. Although the Bernina Express partly runs through Italy, a Pass for Italy is not required.
Special Features
The Bernina Express offers breath-taking vistas from the beautiful 1st and 2nd class panorama cars. Technical buffs will enjoy knowing that the train climbs up to the 2253 m high Bernina Pass without the help of a rack-and-pinion mechanism. The entire trip is narrated. In summer, an optional bus connects Tirano (Italy) to Lugano.
