BERNINA EXPRESS SWITZERLAND TRAIN - First Class! | Swiss Train from Tirano to Chur

⬇️ Bernina Express Tips Below! ⬇️ WELCOME to 1st class on the BERNINA EXPRESS: one of Switzerland’s most scenic train rides!!! Going on a super scenic, panoramic train ride through the Swiss Alps was one of the top things on our To Do list when we were planning our Switzerland trip. Luckily for us, the Bernina Express had a route from the first stop of our trip, North Italy, straight into Switzerland!

We took this 4-hour ride in mid-October, deep into the Autumn season. The mountains were dressed in bright yellow, orange, and green fall foliage. The ride began with some rain and fog, but the gloomy weather soon cleared up. We were then able fully to soak in the beautiful autumn views of the Swiss Alps and countryside. The train was smooth, clean, and offered amazing panoramic views from its HUGE windows!

We rode the Bernina Express from Tirano, Italy to Chur, Switzerland. From there we took another train to our next destination!

-- Bernina Express TIPS 🚞 --

➡️ The Bernina Express runs several routes. You can select which route works best for your travel plans. Check them out here: https://www.rhb.ch/en/panoramic-train...

➡️ Reserve seats as early as you can, even if you’re booking first class! Many tourists frequent this train and it definitely sells out! You can purchase tickets directly from the Rhaetian Railway (RhB) website: rhb.ch

➡️ Choose your seats wisely - we chose two isolated seats facing each other, towards the middle of the car. Benefits: we had a little section to ourselves, and maximized our 360 views throughout the entire car.

➡️ There are many travel forums that tell you which side is better to sit on - if you're torn, I agree that BOTH sides had amazing views! You can always stand up and view the other side as well. Everyone in our car was friendly and enjoying views from both ways.

➡️ Eat before you go on the train! The food cart is expensive (as is everything in Switzerland), and it's a long ride. They do serve snacks, coffee, and some alcoholic beverages as well.

➡️ Order the Grappa 😉

➡️ Lookout for the Landwasser Viaduct (shown in our video 3:13 - 3:21)! The dramatic and steep curving viaduct is a UNESCO World Heritage site and appears in the movie, Anastasia!

➡️ Make sure you have a lot of free storage space on your phone and/or camera. Everywhere you look is photo worthy! 😊

This is a train ride you don't want to miss - it's truly an unforgettable experience, to lounge in comfortable seats and soak in some of the best views that Switzerland has to offer.
