InterLaken to Bernina Express

Country forums / Western Europe / Switzerland

Hi,

I would be staying in Interlaken for 3 nights. But I also want to ride the Bernina Express. What is the best way to do that?

Cheers,
Manish

I suppose you know that the Bernina Express journey cannot be done as a day trip from Interlaken.
If you really want to enjoy it, sleep 1 night at St. Moritz and another night at Lugano.

May be you have a look at the videos of Glacier-Express and Bernina-Express:

Thanks, I had not realized that I can't do that as a Day Trip :)
May be I'll modify my plan and stay one night less in Interlaken.

Or choose another base. Interlaken is really the worst place for day trips to other places than the Jungfrau area.
