@bigworldsmallpockets: 10 Mistakes Avoid on the Bernina Express 🚂 ❄️ Travelling in summer season - it’s more expensive, more crowded and you don’t get those gorgeous snowy views. 🎟️ Not booking in advance - even in low season, the Bernina Express tickets sell out, so get your at least 2 months in ahead of time. ⬇️ Not going from north to south - the most stunning part of the journey is as you near Italy, so it’s best to save this for last, by travelling from Chur to Tirano. ⏰ Not arriving at least 15 mins before departure - you’ll want to get settled in and comfortable well before the train leaves. 🪑 Not sitting on the right hand side of the train - the views are definitely better on this side! 🕶️ Not bringing sunglasses and layers with you - it gets pretty bright and hot in the carriages due to the huge windows, so come prepared! 🪟 Not finding out where the nearest sliding windows are for photos to avoid the glare - check between carriages if you can’t find them! 📸 Not checking the route and having camera at the ready for the viaduct shots - they pass in an instant and you’ll miss out if you’re not prepped. 🚆 Taking the Bernina Express return journey - if you’ve already done the panoramic ride once, just grab the regular regional train back to Chur for half the price instead. 🇮🇹 Not spending time in Italy afterwards - way cheaper than Switzerland, Lake Como, the Alps and Milan are all easily accessible from the end point in Tirano, Italy. #gifted #berninaexpress #berninaexpresstrain #berninaexpress🇨🇭 #berninaexpress🇨🇭🚞 #swisstrains #swisstravel #alps #alpsmountains #alpstrain #alpstravel #uktravelblogger #femaletravelbloggers #traintravel #traintrip
