Classes of Accommodation

First Class

First-class seats onboard the Bernina Express are configured in a two-by-one arrangement across the aisle. This means that opposite every table for four is a table for two, allowing for more seating options. As there are fewer seats, they are slightly larger, with more leg and elbow room as well as more space for luggage storage. Once again, all of the seats line up perfectly next to the large panoramic windows, to really maximize the views of the stunning Swiss scenery.
