Bernina Montain’s red little train is one of the highest railways in the world, a true spectacle cut off in the Alps. This exciting train route leaves from Tirano, terminal station of the FS line from Milan, and ends in St. Moritz.
The BERNINA EXPRESS rises up to 70% up to an altitude of 2,253 m with a view of the Orteratsch glacier and the Bernina group (it is possible to climb the glacier with the cable car from the "Diavolezza" stop - runs every 20-30 minutes).
The little train became a UNESCO heritage site in 2008.
