travelshorts | BERNINA EXPRESS | The Most Beautiful Train from Switzerland to Italy | European Adventure #EP6🇨🇭🇮🇹 @travelshorts | Uploaded January 2023 | Updated October 2024, 9 hours ago.
We take the Bernina Express, the world’s most scenic train journey from Chur in Switzerland to Tirano in Italy. Travelling First Class in an amazing panoramic carriage we have a great view as we pass through the mountains in the Swiss Alps.
We start this travel vlog off in Zurich Switzerland by catching a first class train from Zurich to Chur. In Chur we get lunch at McDonalds before catching the Bernina Express Train through the Alps. Once we arrive in Tirano we catch a bus that takes us to Colico on the shore of Lake Como and then another train from Colico to Milan. Once in Milan we spend the night at the Ibis Milan Centro Hotel.
The Bernina Express train route takes you through incredible alpine landscapes and a UNESCO World Heritage Site - it's that amazing. Think of all the clichés about the beauty of scenic train travel and multiply them by 1000. You'll end up on this journey through Switzerland.
Bernina Express Facts:
Journey time: 4 hours from start to finish
Distance: 76 miles (122 km) of track
Top elevation: 7392 feet above sea level
Highlights: 55 tunnels; 196 bridges & viaducts
The fabulous Bernina Express is a narrow gauge train with panoramic sightseeing cars run by the Rhätische Bahn between Chur in Switzerland and Tirano in northern Italy. It's perhaps the most scenic Alpine train ride train of all - although the Glacier Express competes for the title - and one of the most scenic train rides in the world. It forms part of an alternative slow scenic route between Zurich & Milan, and an excellent scenic overland journey from London, Paris or Zurich to Milan, Florence, Venice or Rome. You can ride it all year round, a completely different experience through Alpine snows in winter and through sunny green meadows in summer.
Chur is an Alpine city and the capital of the Graubünden canton in eastern Switzerland. Winding streets in the car-free old town lead to the 13th-century, three-naved Cathedral of the Assumption, in the courtyard of the Bishop's Palace. The Brambrüesch aerial cableway ascends to a plateau with trails, panoramic views and winter ski slopes. From Chur, the Bernina Express train crosses the Alps into Italy.
Tirano is a town in Valtellina, located in the province of Sondrio in northern Italy. It has 9,053 inhabitants and is adjacent to the Switzerland-Italy border. The river Adda flows through the town.
Colico is a city in the province of Lecco, Lombardy, Italy. It is situated on the northern arm of Lake Como, where the river Adda enters the lake. Colico is the most important city in the northern part of Lake Como, which is often identified as its Colico branch.
Travelshorts’ Epic European Adventure is a family travel vlog about a father, son and daughter travelling around Europe over three weeks using only Trains, buses, boats and taxis. The plan was to see as much as possible whilst still reducing our carbon footprint. In this 22 episode series we visit France, Switzerland, Italy, Vatican City, Austria, Poland, Czech Republic, Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium and of course the UK. The goal was to have as much fun as possible and create memories that will last a life time.
