A lot of bloggers have shared their personal experiences about this journey where they mention how beautiful and fulfilling it is. Blogger Steve Burkett in his blog “Another Way Into Italy” mentions that this train is modern and clean with no wooden seats and panorama windows to give a great view. He also mentions that the trip is best enjoyed with the scenic views in July through September when the lakes are clear, wildflowers are out, etc.
Another blogger Anapatricia mentions that:
The train is panoramic, with large windows and comfortable corridors, as during the trip many get up to take pictures of the opposite side of where they are sitting. Inside the train there is a bathroom and also a small cart where some snacks, wines, juices, etc. are sold – but it is a slow and expensive service; however, you can bring a small bag with snacks and some wine (remember to take plastic cups with you).
For the duration of the trip, I advise you to have a good breakfast before leaving and have lunch at some stop, eating only one fruit during the trip and drinking water. Also, buy the ticket in advance. The Bernina ticket can be used up to two years after purchase, so we have plenty of time to organize the trip calmly.
It is a unique experience and you have the chance to visit two countries in one trip. The panorama is incredible, the route is peaceful and Switzerland is a country full of charm. Even if it is just to buy chocolate: Switzerland always delights, as does Italy. So it’s really worth it.
Christina Guan in her blog THE BERNINA EXPRESS TRAIN IN SWITZERLAND: EVERYTHING YOU MUST KNOW mentions that
Switzerland is a country renowned for stunning rail journeys, but among the many options available to visitors, the Bernina Express may well be the most famous. End to end, this panoramic express train brings you past a sample of Switzerland and Italy’s most awe-inspiring landscapes, from snow-dusted mountains and rugged hilltop castles to glittering lakes and rustic stone villages.
And while a four-hour train ride might sound a bit monotonous, the Bernina Express is anything but – traversing 55 tunnels and 196 bridges/viaducts along the way. One of the best perks of this journey? Train carriages are equipped with comfy seats and giant glass windows that let you see all the action as it passes.
There’s even a free special app you can download that gives you fun facts about different points as you pass them! This was one of my favorite train journeys I did while travelling around Switzerland with my Eurail pass (a huge money saver), and I’d highly recommend it for anybody looking to experience one of the most wow-worthy train rides in the world.
Her tip is to consider riding the regional trains along with the Bernina Express between Tirano and Chur which will give the traveler a wide range of special perks like a special photography carriage on many trains from Samedan to Chur, along with large windows which one can actually open for fresh air and reflectionless photography.
Another blogger, freelance writer, and photographer, Bindu Gopal Rao mentions her personal experience of this train journey by mentioning that:
The train is great as it has large windows that bring the great Swiss outdoors feel so close to you.
The beauty of the Swiss Alps and highlands is impeccable and the luxurious Bernina Express is the perfect way to experience this. Make your bookings early and you can encash some great discounts. This is a trip that will bring you a slice of some of the best destinations that are also not very well known close to you.

Blogger Seraina, who also shared her experience about the Glacier and Bernina Express mentions a few tips and advice to make your Golden Pass Classic train journey more memorable by –
not letting a bad weather forecast scare you off. All three scenic rides you’re describing go up and down several mountain passes and the weather can change quickly.
So if it’s foggy at your starting point, it doesn’t necessarily mean you won’t be able to see anything throughout the whole ride. Unless of course, the forecast predicts lousy weather all over Switzerland. Also don’t worry about the side you’re sitting on when you get on the train.
You’ll get spectacular views on both sides and you can always get up and move around for some awesome photos.
The second advice or tip mentioned by her, was to get a travel pass as single tickets can be pricey, so either one can get an Interrail/Eurail Pass or a Swiss Travel Pass. One could include all the train rides minus the reservation fee which is a great value for money.
