Classic Bernina Express from Frankfurt

5-day rail trip from Frankfurt to the Bernina Express in Switzerland

Illustration of Classic Bernina Express from Frankfurt

Railbookers sells Classic Bernina Express from Frankfurt as an independent rail vacation, meaning travelers follow the route on their own rather than with an escorted group. The trip runs 5 days and 4 nights, starting with time in Frankfurt, Germany, described as a cosmopolitan city with a contrast of modern skyscrapers and historical buildings. From there, the trip travels by train to Chur, Switzerland, a classic Swiss town the operator describes as having old-world charm. From Chur, the highlight is a day riding the world-famous Bernina Express to Tirano, Italy, called one of the most stunning rail journeys in Europe, before the trip continues to Zurich. Railbookers' own description text is incomplete in what's available here, cutting off mid-sentence during the description of the Bernina Express day, so the details of Zurich and the full day-by-day breakdown are not described. It suits travelers starting their trip from Germany who want a scenic Swiss rail excursion built around the Bernina Express.
