The Bernina Express starts its route from the town of Tirano and passes next to the majestic Basilica della Madonna di Tirano, which is considered
one of the three most beautiful churches in Lombardy. After a few kilometres we
reach one of the most impressive sites of our journey, the wonderful helical
viaduct of Brusio.
After passing by Lake Poschiavo and the homonymous
town with its typical patrician houses and historic buildings, our journey goes
on until we get to the panoramic point of Alp Grüm at 2,091 m, where you can
admire a breathtaking view of Valposchiavo. After crossing the White Lake, we
reach the Bernina pass with the astonishing Morteratsch glacier and the
mountain range of Pizzo Bernina, the only peak that reaches 4,000 m in the
Central Alps.
From here, immersed in the peace and quiet of an
enchanting landscape, the Red Train begins its descent towards the town of St.
Moritz (1,775 m), the final destination of this unique journey.
The Bernina Express line travels all year round and is equipped
with modern and comfortable panoramic carriages that allow you to enjoy the
landscape around you with a 360-degree view, both in winter and summer.
In every season of the year, the landscape along the
Bernina Express line boasts unique colours and panoramas. It is surely very evocative
crossing the snowy mountains in winter, while in spring longer days, flower
blooming and maybe even some sporadic snowfall offer amazing views. In summer
it is possible to travel on the open cabriolet carriages that will let you
breathe the pure alpine air and even spot some wild animals. Finally, autumn,
with its brilliant colours and nuances, from red to orange and yellow, offers
wonderful landscapes that look like paintings and will surely leave you
speechless.
Winter, spring, summer and autumn, an emotion for
every season on the Bernina Express line!
