The Bernina Express climbs from Chur or St. Moritz over the Bernina Pass – the highest rail crossing of the Alps – without a single rack section, past glaciers and the turquoise Lago Bianco.

It then drops 1,800 m to Tirano in Italy, curving round the famous Brusio circular viaduct. The Albula and Bernina lines are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. From Tirano you can return by train or continue by bus to Lugano (April to October).
