Note

CHUR totally honors its reputation as Switzerland's oldest city. 5000 years of history do not go unnoticed: already inhabited by the Neolithic, it was subsequently the center of the Roman province of Raetia, part of the Holy Roman Empire and episcopal seat.
NOT TO BE MISSED:
Chur is a city of history, but also of entertainment: in the historic center you will find beer bars and restaurants with regional specialties

The BERNINA EXPRES connects Tirano, in the Italian Valtellina, with Chur, in the canton of Grisons, passing through Pontresina.
On its way, the Bernina Express climbs up to 2253 meters above sea level and crosses 196 bridges and 55 tunnels along the way.
Sit back and relax. The train takes care of the rest. You will pass in front of the Basilica of the Madonna di Tirano, you will see the picturesque Poschiavo. You will breathe the scent of the woods, pass over bridges and viaducts, admire impervious gorges and wild streams. The train overcomes gradients of 70 per thousand, which is unique in the world.
Continuing, you will meet the Landwasser viaduct, famous for its 130 meters in length, as well as the impressive 89 meters high Soliser viaduct.
After this trip, you will not be surprised that the section of the Albula and Bernina Rhaetian Railway has belonged to the Unesco World Heritage since 2008.
