It was an incredible experience from start to finish. From the ease of purchasing tickets on the app to finding the train at St. Moritz station (they are the last trains from left to right, red and unmistakable). The trip is even more enjoyable thanks to the panoramic windows that can be opened. The landscapes are wonderful and unforgettable, and the route is very well designed for enjoying and photographing every moment. It was a tremendous experience and we are very happy to have had it.
