Description
The “Bernina Express” is a scenic train that connects Chur in Switzerland to Tirano in Italy. Its carriages are notable for their elegant curves and panoramic glass windows that extend into the roofline. The train passes through the Albula and Bernina lines, which were registered as UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 2008. Along the way to its final stop in Tirano, it offers views of world-renowned landscapes and is a popular choice among tourists.

A fabulous rendition of the latest livery version of the RhB's Bernina Express coaches. Note these are correctly shorter than other coaches in real life to cater for the 'light railway' build standards used on the Bernina Railway.
