The Bernina Express connects Switzerland’s Chur to Tirano in northern Italy on a four-hour, 76-mile route through the Alps—Europe’s highest and the world’s steepest railway. Crossing 55 tunnels and 196 bridges, it offers panoramic views via specially designed carriages. Highlights include a mountain viewpoint stop and scenic Lugano connection via coach. With landscapes shifting from green meadows to snow-capped peaks, it’s hailed as one of Europe’s most stunning rail journeys.
