Would you like to do a giant slalom through the mountains?
Then get on the red train of the Retica Railway at Tirano that “boldly” climbs up to the 2253 meters of the Bernina Pass to then descend towards St. Moritz. Starting immediately after Tirano you enter in the lateral Val Poschiavo, that is part of Valtellina but politically belongs to Switzerland.
With the snow train during the winter and until mid-April, it’s possible to sit comfortably in warm panoramic carriages and with 360° view, while a magical world passes before your eyes. Or, during the summer it’s possible to reach, also in open carriages, excellent panoramic points, impressive glaciers and the “four-thousand,” sparkling with eternal snow.
