Bernina Express Named Instagram's Favorite Train Ride

"Online gaming site Rant Casino released its analysis of the most Instagrammed luxury train journeys around the world and named the Bernina Express the winner with more than 96,000 tags. It boasts some seriously cool stats, like the fact that it’s the highest railway track in Europe, and is the steepest railway on earth. The train journey also passes through “55 tunnels and over 196 bridges.” The 2.5-hour journey connects Chur and St.Moritz in Switzerland to Tirano, Italy, traversing the Swiss Alps. The Bernina Railway website explains that there are two trains for people to choose from on the line: the regional Bernina Red Train and the Bernina Express." - Travel + Leisure Editors

"Train Adventure Through the Swiss Alps I didn’t even realize that the Bernina Express scenic train journey was on the UNESCO World Heritage list until I arrived at the small northern Italian town of Tirano to start the trip. There are several different routes from which travelers may chose, but that day I took a one-way trip from Tirano to the Swiss mountain town of Chur. It was the middle of winter and I was excited to see the famous snow-covered Alps in person. Images of Maria from the Sound of Music kept running through my head as the train slowly pulled out of the small station. The journey is a scenic one and the train cars have been designed to maximize the amazing views. The windows are extra large and there is more than enough room between seats to allow for even the most ardent shutterbug. Our trip took about four hours, during which time we passed through narrow valleys and swept past mountain villages that looked like they were plucked out of a model train set. The unique and stunning scenery I was lucky enough to witness proved to me why UNESCO very smartly placed this journey on their important list. Tirano is easy to reach from Milan and there are many different train routes available including trips to St. Moritz and Davos."

The Bernina Express is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience! The panoramic windows gave us stunning views of mountains, lakes, and charming villages — every turn felt like a postcard. The ride was smooth and comfortable, with plenty of space to relax and soak in the scenery. We especially loved how the train climbed through the Alps and crossed the famous viaducts — it was breathtaking. Highly recommend booking seats in advance, as it can get crowded. A must-do if you’re visiting Switzerland! 😍😍😍

The most beautiful train ride I’ve been on! The train has really big windows so you get a better view of the landscape. We went from Chur to Tirano, it was about 4 and a half hours. The train goes at a relatively slow speed so you get to take in all the views. Definitely book your tickets and seats ahead of time.

Great scenery, nice train ride. First class a definite must. You are given a nice lindt chocolate in a train toy car and an ice tea packet drink as a souvenier. 1 short stop for pic taking. Make sure u have yr ticket on hand or on the app. They do check for it.

A very nice experience that I would recommend to everyone! We were in an organized group and paid for tickets in advance, had a trip from Milan to St. Moritz, went sightseeing in the town, and then from St. Moritz to the town of Tirana, a 2h and 30 minute drive, where you drive from the top of the Alps to the foothills and see the beauties of Switzerland, that is, part of it.:) A phenomenal experience that I would recommend to anyone who comes to Milan and continues a little to the Alps:)

Great train ride from Chur to Poschiavo. We had a guided tour, so we had our own designated space in the car for our group. The ride was scenic the whole way. I was able to get some good glare free photos/videos out the open window inbetween cars. On our trip back, we got complimentary tea in a carton and chocolates inside a novelty tin.
