Along the way, you'll cross engineering masterpieces including the famous Landwasser Viaduct and the circular Brusio Viaduct, while travelling through one of Europe's most spectacular mountain landscapes.
From snow-covered peaks and pristine Alpine scenery to Mediterranean-style towns and vineyards, the Bernina Express showcases an extraordinary contrast of landscapes in a single day. Relax in the panoramic coaches, enjoy uninterrupted views through the large windows and experience one of Switzerland's most celebrated railway journeys.
