Travellers will be immersed in the grandeur of the Swiss Alps when they ride the Bernina Express, and these five must-see sights showcase some of the most jaw-dropping landscapes in Europe.
The Bernina Express at the Montebello Curve
Switzerland’s Bernina Express is no ordinary train journey. This panoramic rail route weaves through the Swiss Alps throughout the year, and in winter the iconic red train offers unparalleled views of snow-capped peaks, emerald lakes and sparkling glaciers.
The line has been recognised as a Unesco World Heritage site, taking travellers across 90 miles of scenic beauty, spanning 55 tunnels and crossing 196 bridges. It reaches its highest point at Ospizio Bernina, 2,253 meters above sea level.
