Bernina Express

Travel from the crisp snow down of St. Moritz to the palms and oleander of Lugano in Northern Italy on the Rhaetian Railway's north-south Alpine crossing.

This 2 1/2 hour trip from St. Moritz offers breathtaking views as you travel over boldly curved viaducts, landscape of glaciers and stone fields to Tirano in Italy, where a bus to Lugano is available.  Along this route you pass wild gorges, soaring bridges, fascinating loop tunnels and white ice-age glaciers which are close enough to reach out and touch!

The Bernina Express runs daily in the summer. In the winter only the train to and from Tirano is operated. It offers first and second class service as well as panoramic coaches.


seat reservations are 12CHF each, and they provided me with a number to fax over the reservation request.

Swiss Post Bus and Swiss Post Bus directed me to www.Rail.ch. I sent Rail.ch an email two days ago, but haven't heard back yet. The bus number shown at www.Rail.ch (SBB) is 5500, and it shows "seat reservations compulsory.

The William Tell offers the trip on a paddle-steamer in first class, a Swiss lunch, and the train journey in first or second class air-conditioned coaches.
