Bernina Express Poschiavo - Chur

The most spectacular Alpine traverse

High up to the glitter of glaciers in the mountains, deep down to the palm paradise of Italy. The Bernina Express is the highest railway line across the Alps, connecting northern Europe with the south. And it does so in a wonderful way. The railway line fits perfectly into the magnificent mountain world. This is where the enjoyment of nature and cultural experience become a perfect match, where it becomes the most beautiful experience in the Alps.

The circular viaduct at Brusio, together with the Landwasser viaduct, is one of the landmarks of the UNESCO World Heritage Albula & Bernina line.

A fascinating and unforgettable experience. Through the large panoramic windows, everything seems so very close at hand, giving you incredible close-ups and enhancing the natural experience of this breathtaking area.
