Trains offer a brilliant way to travel, providing a greener option for adventurous travellers, while allowing them to soak up the spectacular views along the way.

That's why a certain train route winding through the snow-capped Swiss Alps has left folk utterly gobsmacked. Boasting floor-to-ceiling windows, The Bernina Expressoffers travellers an incredible vista of the stunning surroundings during an unforgettable four-and-a-half-hour journey.

Eveline, a touristwho frequently posts her rail journey adventures on social media, has hailed this Swiss line "the most scenic train journey in the world." After a quick glance at her holiday clips, it's easy to agree. "Want to ride the most magical train in December? Then now is the time to book! It sells out fast!" she wrote last month alongside a TikTok post showcasing her picturesque rail adventure.

But it is pricey - with tickets starting at £61. One savvy traveller shared a helpful tip, noting: "I did this and it was stunning, but don't pay so much for the Bernina - just get the normal train. The Bernina was just at the end of our normal train carriage, so it was a lot cheaper!"

The footage gives viewers a peek at Eveline's vantage point from the train, capturing sweeping scenes of the snow-blanketed Swiss Alps as the locomotive snakes its way through the peaks, even gliding through tunnels bored straight into the mountainside.

"POV: it's December, and you took the train from Switzerland to Italy," Eveline noted on the clip as she went on to reveal the train's interior, with its floor-to-ceiling windows allowing for a full appreciation of the majestic landscape. She continued: "This is the Bernina Express, and it will take you on a scenic ride through glaciers and palms, parts of the route are a UNESCO heritage."

The railway links the Swiss Alpine city of Chur with Tirano in northern Italy, stopping at various points along the way. The entire journey takes roughly four-and-a-half hours, with travellers treated to endless views of stunning snowy peaks through the carriage windows.

In winter, passengers also pass through snow-draped forests that look like something from a perfect winter fairy tale. The full four-and-a-half-hour journey costs approximately 66 CHF (£61) per person for standard seating or 113 CHF (£104) for premium class travel.

Yet Eveline revealed you can easily halve this cost by getting off at one of the stops along the route. "Or travel with an InterRail pass and then you only need to book a seat for 32 CHF in first class," she added. Passengers should make sure they buy tickets from the official website; otherwise, they risk ending up on a "normal" service without the panoramic windows.

Comments flooded in from impressed viewers, with many saying they desperately wanted to try the train journey themselves. "Omg this is a dream," one person wrote, whilst another declared: "Omg, this is like a movie."

Another recounted their own journey, remarking: "Me and my hubby travelled on the Bernina Express last month, it was stunning. Window shopped in St Moritz - such a beautiful part of the world and not far from Italy."
