Bernina Express | A window to the Alps

As the Bernina Express ascends through the Alps, you’ll catch gorgeous views of the Morteratsch Glacier, one of the largest in the region. Its icy blue surface stretches for miles, framed by towering peaks, making it one of the most stunning sights on the journey.

Lago Bianco, or the White Lake, is a stunning reservoir located at the Bernina Pass. Its unique, milky-white color comes from the glacier meltwater that feeds into it, giving the lake a distinctive, almost ethereal appearance. 

Alp Grüm offers panoramic views of the Bernina Range and the valley below. The train halts here, giving you a chance to admire the vastness of the landscape, including the striking peaks and glaciers.

The Bernina Pass, the highest point on the Bernina Express route, is 2,253 meters above sea level. As the train twists and turns through this alpine paradise, you'll experience awe-inspiring views of rugged mountain landscapes and glaciers.

The Brusio Spiral Viaduct is a marvel of railway engineering. As the train loops around in a spiral, it gracefully navigates a steep incline, offering an extraordinary vantage point of the surrounding valley and the picturesque village of Brusio.

One of the most iconic sights along the Bernina Express route, the Landwasser Viaduct, 142 meters long and 65 meters high, is a majestic six-arched bridge that spans the dramatic Landwasser Gorge. The train crosses this viaduct, offering travelers the chance to marvel at its engineering while gazing down at the ravine below.

As the highest peak in the Eastern Alps, Piz Bernina dominates the landscape along the route. Its sharp summit and surrounding glaciers are a striking sight, making it an unmissable part of the journey.

This charming valley stretches out beneath the Bernina Range, with its picturesque villages and rolling hills. The contrast between the rugged mountain backdrop and the serene valley below offers an incredible photo opportunity.

A beautiful lake near the town of Poschiavo, this spot features crystal-clear waters that reflect the surrounding mountains. It's a peaceful view that contrasts with the ruggedness of the Alps.

Located near the highest point of the journey, Ospizio Bernina comes with great views of glaciers and dramatic mountain ridges. The contrast between the harsh alpine terrain and the green valleys below is not to be missed.
