Travel with Bernina Express

To organize yourself in the best way, we suggest you decide in advance if and at which stops you want to get off, in order to understand if one day is enough for you or if you prefer to dedicate an entire weekend to this experience.

The dream begins! In about two and a half hours you will cross breathtaking landscapes between imposing mountains, forests, glaciers, valleys and alpine peaks.

From the numerous panoramic windows it is a must to take photographs to keep as postcards.

The stages are different but, in our opinion, the most evocative is that of the Ospizio Bernina ( 2253 ), the highest station of the entire Rhaetian Railway.

It marks the linguistic border: in the South, in the Poschiavo Valley, Italian is spoken, while in the North, in the Engadine, German and Romansh are spoken.

As a last note, remember that with the Red Train you will touch both Italy and Switzerland, therefore you must bring with you an identity document valid for abroad and, if you plan to use only cash, know that a few Swiss francs in your pocket in Swiss territory it is welcome, even if credit cards and euros are still welcome practically everywhere.
