From the glaciers to the palm trees - The UNESCO World Heritage Rhätische Bahn and spectacular Alpine landscapes within reach - a ride on the Bernina Express is a travel experience in a class of its own. On the highest railroad tracks in Europe and the steepest in the world, the Bernina Express takes you on a unique journey through 55 tunnels and over 196 bridges. From Switzerland's oldest city through wildly romantic gorges, past spectacular engineering structures, up to the eternal ice of the glaciers and back down again to the palm trees in Tirano, Italy.
