All aboard for one of Europe’s most spectacular rail journeys – on the Bernina Express, the panoramic train that combines contrasts. The journey begins in Tirano and ends in Chur, the oldest town in Switzerland. This magnificent train journey takes you through narrow gorges, over the world-famous Landwasser Viaduct, past eternal glaciers, never ending valleys, lake and landscapes that take your breath away. There are Fifty-five tunnels, 196 bridges and countless panoramic moments make this train journey through Switzerland an unforgettable experience. MAGNIFICENT doesn’t justly describe our day.
After the heat of the UK & Italy we could not get enough of the cool mountain fresh air…
Spectacular picture postcard kind of day with perfect puffy clouds, blue skies and sunshine.
We arrived in St Moritz and decided to take a bus to the gondola to have lunch at the highest point in the area 3303 meters or 10,836 feet into the Alps for lunch and to see what it feels like above the clouds in Switzerland.
Feeling a lil wobbly at this high elevation, so we take the ride down to walk the lake path in St Moritz before our train to Chur, to end our day.
A bee so happy collecting nectar all we could see was legs dangling
The ride to Chur was stunning but the window reflection was too much to give the scenery justice. So we just sat, relaxed and enjoyed the views.
Tomorrow’s train ride is the Glacier Express from Chur to Zermatt a 6 hour extravaganza.
