Riding the Bernina Express was truly an unforgettable experience. The views along the journey were absolutely breathtaking — every moment felt like a postcard coming to life, with stunning mountains, glaciers, and charming alpine villages passing by. The service on board was excellent, with a very attentive and professional staff who made the entire trip even more enjoyable. Everything was extremely well organized, from boarding to the overall flow of the journey, which allowed me to simply relax and fully take in the beauty around me. It’s one of those experiences that goes beyond just transportation — it’s something you feel, appreciate, and remember. Highly recommended for anyone who values incredible scenery combined with comfort and top-level service.

I bought tickets in advance for me and my friend, the carriage has been changed and we had separated seats, the weather was cloudy but the train clean and nice. There was quite a bit of fog, and at one point it felt like we were floating among the clouds, which kept us from seeing the scenery in all its splendor. On top of that, the raindrops on the windows of the Bernina Express ruined our photos. On the way back, we took the red local Bernina train—the Bernina Railway—and it was absolutely stunning. We opened the window and took photos—the fog had lifted, the rain had stopped, and everything looked breathtaking.

Enjoyed the ride it's very scenic , had already seen some of the trip driving through , got the red train back and to be honest it wasn't bad you can still see a lot through the windows . The only dissappointed bit was st moritz which I found underwhelming apart from the beautiful frozen lake . Had wanted to do st moritz to Chur but don't think I will now .

It was an incredible experience from start to finish. From the ease of purchasing tickets on the app to finding the train at St. Moritz station (they are the last trains from left to right, red and unmistakable). The trip is even more enjoyable thanks to the panoramic windows that can be opened. The landscapes are wonderful and unforgettable, and the route is very well designed for enjoying and photographing every moment. It was a tremendous experience and we are very happy to have had it.
