MOUNTAIN ADVENTURES<br />

SPECIAL EXCURSION IDEAS<br />

UNESCO World Heritage In July 2008, UNESCO added the “Rhaetian Railway in<br />

the Albula/Bernina landscapes” to its list of World Heritage sites. The Albula and<br />

Bernina lines are technically innovative examples showing how the high-lying<br />

Alpine region was opened up – and together offer one of the most spectacular<br />

narrow-gauge railway rides in the world.<br />

Bernina Express From <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Moritz</strong>, the red train climbs in tight curves, past<br />

walls of snow and the Bernina massif with its glaciers, up to the Bernina Pass at<br />

2,253m (7,408ft). It then descends through the Valposchiavo, with its southerly<br />

atmosphere, on its way to the palm trees of Tirano in Italy.
