What's the difference? ** "Trenino Rosso del Bernina" (ours) - -> Panoramic windows that open, allowing you to breathe the mountain air. You can lean out the window to take all your "Instagrammable photos" (example : second photo gallery) ** "Bernina Express" (NOT ours) - - > Windows slightly larger, but NOT openable. You will sit throughout the journey, taking pictures through a window. If the sun reflects off the windows, the photos will be blurry and will NOT be a good memory.
