Bernina Express Bus

Bernina Express Bus

Bernina Express Postbus

The original Bernina Express Bus began operating back in 2010, transporting thousands of passengers annually and travelling in both directions between Tirano and Lugano.

The bus, which takes passengers on a scenic journey through vineyards and along the shores of Lake Como, is easily recognisable as it is the same colour as the unmissable red train Bernina Express. 

Journey time aboard the Bernina Express Bus between Tirano and Lugano is three hours, and the service does not operate during the winter season.

Bernina Express Bus Fire at Chur

No doubt everyone remembers the fire at the PostBus depot in Chur back in January 2018 which resulted in more than 20 post buses being destroyed. One of those was the Bernina Express Bus, which was new at the time.

A new Bernina Express Bus was ordered after the fire and we are now happy to have taken receipt of the new vehicle.

The Bernina Express Bus has been transporting around 17,000 passengers from all over the world every year from Tirano, the most southerly point on the Bernina Line, to Lugano or vice versa since 2010. The bus, operated by PostBus Graubünden, ensures passengers of the Bernina Express have a comfortable and convenient trip to join the Bernina Line as well as providing a pleasant way of travelling on into Ticino. The new Bernina Express Bus will be operating between Tirano and Lugano from 20 February to 29 November 2020.

The new bus came in the attractive RhB red and was then given the final touches to reflect the design of the Bernina Express.
