[2025 Plessur District Attraction] Travel Guide for Bernina Express (Updated Jul)

Switzerland is one of those rare places that looks exactly like the postcards — maybe even better. From snow-covered peaks to crystal-clear lakes, peaceful villages, and vibrant cities, this small country packs a huge visual punch.The Swiss Alps are simply breathtaking. Whether you're standing in front of the iconic Matterhorn, riding the panoramic Bernina Express through snowy valleys, or hiking in Lauterbrunnen surrounded by waterfalls, it’s hard to believe it’s real. Lakes like Geneva, Lucerne, and Brienz are so clear they reflect the sky like a mirror. Everywhere you turn, it’s peace, quiet, and fresh mountain air.

#AbsolutelyFreeTrip [The Red Train Running Through World Heritage Sites] A Journey Through the Alps on the Bernina Express 🚂❄️ The Bernina Express, which connects Switzerland and Italy, is one of the most beautiful train journeys in the world. The route from Chur to Tirano weaves through the glaciers, valleys, lakes, and breathtaking views of the Alps, making it a truly "moving observation deck." The Landwasser Viaduct and the Bernina Pass, which can be seen from the train window, are breathtakingly beautiful. I rode it in winter and was moved by the contrast between the pure white snow fields and the blue sky. The people on the train were impressive, quietly enjoying the scenery, and it was like a scene from a movie. It's perfect for a romantic trip with your partner, or a relaxing trip to soak up the spectacular views by yourself. [Access] The starting station is Chur or St. Moritz. The final destination is Tirano, Italy. The journey takes about 4 hours. All seats are reserved, so reservations are required in advance. [Travel tips] ✔️The seats on the left side of the train have more great views (Chur → Tirano)🪟 ✔️Enjoy the contrast between snow in winter and greenery and glaciers in summer🌲❄️ ✔️We recommend getting off along the way to hike and take photos📸 ✔️Swiss Pass holders only need to reserve a seat (additional charge)🎫 Overseas travel #couples trip #solo trip #absolutely free trip #Switzerland trip #Bernina Express #World Heritage Railway #great view train trip #crossing the Alps

This time, I will introduce one of the panoramic railways in Switzerland 🇨🇭❗️ This is the Bernina Express. The Bernina Line is registered as a World Heritage Site along with its scenery! There are first and second class cars, and I rode in the first class car! The second picture shows the inside of the car, and the windows are large so it's easy to see the scenery❗️ And because it is a World Heritage Site, I was able to enjoy a spectacular view from the window✨ Reservations are required and fill up quickly, so I recommend making a reservation when reservations open❗️ Please go and check it out! #Fritavi #Switzerland

The Bernina Express, whose route is a World Heritage Site. I hiked a part of that section! The section I hiked was from Ospizio Bernini to Alp Grüm The Bernina Express was running just as I was walking along the lake, so I was able to see the Bernina Express collaborating with the scenery! When it's sunny, the mountains are reflected in the lake, which is also beautiful! I also encountered cows grazing while hiking! July was the season when alpine plants bloom, and the combination of colorful alpine plants, lake and mountains was beautiful! I recommend taking a local train and enjoying a hike like this! #natureandspectacularviews #Switzerland

UNESCO World Heritage Site 🏔️ Bernard Scenery Train The whole process takes 4 hours and is so beautiful that you can't wait to blink👀 Across the two countries of Italy 🇮🇹 & Switzerland 🇨🇭 Take you through the Alpine group 🛤️ Have you ever thought that the *European snow-capped mountain views~first class rail trip* of your dreams turned out to be inexpensive For HK$700 you can enjoy an all-you-can-eat with spacious seats and large glass windows and train chocolate as a souvenir If you are planning your trip to Switzerland, think about starting in Italy! I played Milan first, then went to the beautiful town of Varenna by Lake Como before taking the Bernina Express into Switzerland! Highly recommend this route, you can ride the highest CP value view train, and do not have to go back ~ You can pay attention to my other posts to see what to do along the way😁 Bernina Express I took the First class One way from Tirano, Italy-->Chur, Switzerland A one-way ride is enough! Don't waste your time sitting back and forth with the group Then at Chur change to a regular train via Zurich into Interlaken The whole day took the train for nearly eight hours, spanning half of Switzerland, but I was not tired at all, because the first class was particularly good to sit - and the scenery along the way was very eye-catching, there was no cold spot! #berninaexpress #tirano #chur #scenictrain #firstclass #goodplaces in June 2024
