The Bernina Express offers one of the most scenic railway journeys in the world, traveling from Chur, Switzerland, to Tirano, Italy. Crossing the Swiss Alps, the line reaches an elevation of 2,253 meters at Ospizio Bernina, making it the highest trans-alpine railway. The route is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site for its architectural and engineering integration into the high-mountain landscape. Notable features include the 65-meter-high Landwasser Viaduct and several spiral tunnels, which allow the train to navigate steep gradients without the use of a rack-and-pinion system.
- The railway connects the Swiss town of Chur with Tirano in northern Italy, traversing the Alps.
- The Albula and Bernina lines were designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2008.
- Reaching an altitude of 2,253 meters above sea level, it is the highest railway crossing in the Alps.
- The line is one of the world’s steepest narrow-gauge railways to operate without the assistance of a cogwheel or rack system.
- The journey includes passage over 196 bridges and through 55 tunnels, showcasing early 20th-century engineering.

Looks like the Harry Potter movies train rides were filmed there?
Newcastle to Carlisle and then to settle, awesome journey
Wonder what the sights were like when the train from Carlisle used to travel through Langholm and over the hills. Shame the station was closed decades ago. Langholm could really do with is opened again.
There is something very special about the unique sound of a steam engine (and its whistle).
Yeah, i'm going with anything in the Alps.
One of England's most spectacular train rides for sure, but anyone suggesting it's the most scenic in the world needs to get out of the UK more. The obsession with superlatives is childish and invites ridicule. It's daft to compare the Pennines with the Alps or the Himalayas. Each place has its magic; enjoy it for what it is.
I saw a dementor over that train.
Do tourists like views
Yes it’s Gods own country 😊
English people saying “in the world” is so beyond cliché at this point.
I only say “in the world” if I’m doing a Jeremy Clarkson joke.
Visit Sri Lanka 🎉🇱🇰
Beaches, Mountains, Jungles, Cities, Waterfalls , Wildlife, …..
Bihar me v vikramshila pul gira hai 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'll take the Southampton to London line over this, nothing beats the countryside in the South. There are actually trees in the South too, instead of this sheep-destroyed landscape.
Make the most of it. Netty zero crap will be coming for it soon. All ull see is windmills and a blanket of black plastic sheets across the hills.
What is it with the weird sound mixing?
