If you have a Swiss Travel Pass, the train journey on the Bernina Express is covered.
After all, the Swiss Travel Pass covers all train travel in Switzerland and the Bernina Express is actually just a normal train route within the country.
Things To Consider
Yes, The Bernina Express is a stunning train journey we all want to take, but keep the following in mind:
Want To Save This For Later?
- It is mandatory to buy a seat reservation on the panoramic trains
- Summer and holidays can get very busy on this route
- You can combine the Bernina Express with the Glacier Express via St Moritz
Standard regional trains also travel the same route without the panoramic cars and without the need for reservations, so you could take one of these if you miss out on Bernina Express reservations.



Hi! My husband and I will be traveling to Switzerland in September and plan to ride the Bernina Express train. I plan to purchase the Swiss Travel Pass but wanted to see how much it would cost to upgrade to first class just for the Bernina Express. Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
