Bernina Express is the Rhaetian Railway’s spectacular luxury rail journey on the Albula and Bernina lines most deservedly enjoying UNESCO World Heritage status. Operating on the world’s highest-altitude railroad, the Bernina Express traverses the Alps, thereby linking the north of Europe to the south. In summer, the journey can be extended on board the Bernina Express bus along beautiful Lake Como and through the picturesque villages between Lugano in Switzerland and Tirano in Italy. A Passport or Identity Card is required for the border crossing into Italy
