Bernina Express

The Bernina Express departs from Tirano and crosses some of the most outstanding environments of the Alps. At the Bernina Pass it reaches an altitude of 2253m before running smoothly down to St. Moritz at around 1800m above sea level. It is Europe's only narrow-gauge railway that climbs mountains without a cog railway system. Since 2008 the Bernina line is listed as UNESCO World Heritage Site. Ferrovia Retica
