点评:We took a full-day round trip on the Bernina Express from Chur to Tirano. The route follows the UNESCO-listed Albula and Bernina railway lines, passing through Thusis, Tiefencastel, Filisur, Bergün, Pontresina, Alp Grüm and Poschiavo before reaching Tirano in Italy. Along the way, the train crosses the famous Landwasser Viaduct and the remarkable Brusio Circular Viaduct, winds through helical tunnels and passes mountain lakes and glaciers. The highest point of the journey is Ospizio Bernina, at 2,253 metres above sea level.
The train’s panoramic windows offer sweeping views of the surrounding landscape, which changes dramatically with every metre of elevation gained – from the lush green meadows and forests in the hills above Chur to the snow and ice of the Bernina Pass, before the train descends towards the greenery and palm trees of Tirano.
Tirano is a charming town, and we thoroughly enjoyed the time we had there while waiting for our return train. We had an excellent meal at Parravicini Restaurant e Wine, which serves authentic local cuisine.
To enjoy a peaceful journey, we booked individual seats in first class so that we would not have other passengers sitting directly beside us. We were therefore quite taken aback by the inconsiderate behaviour of some passengers seated on the opposite side of the carriage during the return journey. They repeatedly stood up, leaned over us and even stumbled onto us in their efforts to take photographs through the windows on our side of the train. Eventually, we had to firmly ask them to return to their seats. It was a very unpleasant experience.
On the other hand, we greatly appreciated the friendly, helpful and attentive onboard staff, as well as the cleanliness and comfort of the train. It was certainly a very interesting and memorable experience, but we do not feel that repeating the journey on this particular route would be worth it for us.

列车上的全景车窗可让人饱览四周的壮丽景色:随着海拔升高,景观也发生着显著变化——从库尔上方山丘上郁郁葱葱的草地与森林,到贝尔尼纳山口的冰雪世界,随后列车又缓缓驶向蒂拉诺那片绿意盎然、棕榈成荫的景象。
蒂拉诺是一座迷人的小镇,我们在那里等待返程列车时度过了非常愉快的时光。我们在Parravicini Restaurant e Wine享用了一顿美味的晚餐,那里提供地道的当地美食。
为了享受一次宁静的旅程,我们预订了头等舱的单独座位,这样就不会有其他乘客坐在我们身旁。然而在回程时,车厢另一侧的一些乘客表现得极为不体贴,这让我们大吃一惊。他们屡次起身……他们为了透过我们这一侧的车窗拍照,身子探向我们,甚至还差点撞到我们。最后,我们不得不坚决要求他们回到自己的座位上。那是一次非常不愉快的经历。
另一方面,我们非常感激列车上友善、乐于助人且细心周到的工作人员,也很喜欢列车的整洁与舒适。这绝对是一次非常有趣且令人难忘的经历。不过我们认为,对于我们来说,再走一遍这条路线也不值得。
