Stephen – United States

Well, unfortunately we were unable to complete the journey as expected. Our trip was riding the Bernina Express from St Moritz to Tirano. When we were about to leave Poschiavo we were advised by our train staff, that there was an emergency on the rails. That we would be getting off the train in Poschiavo and would not be completing the train journey to Tirano. Fortunately, the landslide occurred before we reached the area. Our guide Marina made a valiant effort to get us back to Milano the same day. As you might guess, there were trains enroute behind us as well that could not pass either. There were hundreds and hundreds of passengers disembarking at the small train station. Rather quickly Swiss Rail dispatched buses to help passengers continue their journey to Tirano. Unfortunately for some passengers with suitcases, they likely missed their connecting trains. But fortunately no one was hurt. Thank you to Marina for getting us home the same day.

Full description

From up among sparkling glaciers and down to a land of palms, the Panoramic Bernina Express offers a change of scene like no other. No other railway links north to south in such a wonderful manner on trains with glass-topped panoramic cars.

In the afternoon, head over to the train station and get seated in the guaranteed panoramic carriage on board the Bernina Express Train bound for Tirano.
Experience one of life’s finest cultural and natural-world experiences on a train that traverses no fewer than 55 tunnels and 196 bridges, easily tackling inclines of up to 70 mm/m along the way.
Admire the view as the train travels into the mountains. Gaze in awe at the panoramas of the Morteratsch Glacier and the world-famous Montebello Curve.
