Where does it start and end? Trains run in both directions, from Chur or St. Moritz in Switzerland to Tirano in Italy. There are 25 stops along the route.

Yes, the Bernina Express features several high-fidelity stops as it traverses the UNESCO World Heritage route between Switzerland and Italy. While it is a panoramic "express" train, it makes strategic stops at key stations such as Chur, Thusis, St. Moritz, Pontresina, and the spectacular Alp Grüm, which is accessible only by train and offers a high-fidelity view of the Palü Glacier. The train also pauses at Ospizio Bernina, the highest point of the line at 2,253 meters above sea level. In 2026, the full journey from Chur to Tirano takes approximately 4 to 4.5 hours, crossing 196 bridges and passing through 55 tunnels. Passengers can choose to disembark at these stops to explore the Alpine landscapes, though most high-fidelity travelers enjoy the continuous panoramic views through the floor-to-ceiling windows. It is important to note that seat reservations are mandatory for the specialized panoramic carriages, even if you only travel between a few stops.
