The Bernina and Heidi Express
Landquart – Davos – Bernina Pass – Tirano
Crossing the Alps from north to south, this route covers the breathtakingly lovely canton of Graubüenden and affords ideal views from first- and second-class panorama cars. Travel over graceful viaducts, through galleries carved into the sheer rock, switch-back tunnels, mountain streams, glaciers and even an Alpine garden. This route also carries passengers up to the 7,400-foot Bernina Pass.
