  • Bernina Express
    Bernina Express https://www.irtsociety.com/train/bernina-express/ Overview The spectacular Bernina line was completed in 1910 and is run by Rhaetian Railways. Beginning in Chur, St. Moritz or Davos, it passes the glaciers of Piz Bernina, making this the highest railway crossing in all of the Alps. It travels over 38 miles, climbing grades of up to 7%––without rack and pinion––to more than 7,391 feet at the Bernina Pass summit, and drops down to just 1,408 feet at Tirano, Italy. One minute, it seems, you’re above the tree line in a frozen wasteland; the next, you’re zooming to a landing, like in an airplane, into a subtropical Italian paradise. The combination of remarkable scenery and engineering prompted the World Heritage The Society of International Railway Travelers | irtsociety.com | (800) 478-4881 Page 1/2 Committee on July 7, 2008 to add this line (and its sister line, Albula) to the UNESCO World Heritage list. This makes the Rhaetian Railway one of four railways worldwide to be considered “universally outstanding” by UNESCO. (The other three are the “toy trains” of India: Darjeeling, Shimla and Nilgiri.) Accommodations Bernina Express trains have spacious first- and second-class Panorama cars. All seats require reservations. You won’t be sitting long, however. The train passes over viaducts as high as 295 feet, twists through the Albula Valley, up past rock formations and glaciers, then plunges into Italy on a famous corkscrew viaduct. This is a daytime-only train; there are no overnight accommodations on board. Dining A roving snack trolley has tea, coffee, snacks, and souvenirs for sale.

    Rail holidays of Italy Rail holiday to Venice through the Alps on the Bernina Express www.expressionsholidays.co.uk 01392 441275 RAIL HOLIDAYS OF ITALY Rail holiday to Venice through the Alps on the Bernina Express 7 NIGHTS / 8 DAYS Bernina Express St Moritz Venice Burano Murano In this rail holiday to Venice, you take in some of most spectacular scenery of the Swiss Alps viewed through the panoramic windows of the Bernina Express. Start from the UK by Eurostar to Paris where you change to a TGV Lyria train to Zurich. Following a night in Zurich, you travel onwards to St Moritz where you break the journey for to enjoy the Alpine lifestyle. The Bernina Express railway then takes you through the very heart of the Alps. Travelling slowly gives time to take in the glaciers, mountains, pretty villages, lakes and pine forests. The highest point is Ospizio Bernina, where the route reaches 2,253 metres before dropping 1,800 metres down to Tirano and into Italy. In Tirano there is time for lunch before travelling on to Milan. This is an attractive route, at fi rst passing vineyards perched precariously on hillside terraces, and then along the eastern edge of Lake Como. From Milan, a high speed train takes you onwards to Venice. We suggest a stay of three nights in Venice to give you time to explore this fascinating city with its bobbing gondolas, Byzantine and Gothic architectural gems and interesting islands. This holiday uses the Thello sleeper train to Paris and then Eurostar back to London.

  • Northern Italy: the Alps, Dolomites & Lombardy 2021
    YOUR O.A.T. ADVENTURE TRAVEL PLANNING GUIDE® Northern Italy: The Alps, Dolomites & Lombardy 2021 Small Groups: 8-16 travelers—guaranteed! (average of 13) Overseas Adventure Travel ® The Leader in Personalized Small Group Adventures on the Road Less Traveled 1 Dear Traveler, At last, the world is opening up again for curious travel lovers like you and me. And the O.A.T. Northern Italy: The Alps, Dolomites & Lombardy itinerary you’ve expressed interest in will be a wonderful way to resume the discoveries that bring us so much joy. You might soon be enjoying standout moments like these: In my mind, nothing is more idyllic than the mountainous landscapes and rural villages of Alpine Europe. To immerse myself in their pastoral traditions and everyday life, I love to explore rural communities like Teglio, a small village nestled in the Valtellina Valley. You’ll see what I mean when you experience A Day in the Life of a small, family-run farm here where you’ll have the opportunity to meet the owner, walk the grounds, lend a hand with the daily farm chores, and share a traditional meal with your hosts in the farmhouse. You’ll also get a taste for some of the other crafts in the Valley when you visit a locally-owned goat cheese producer and a water-powered mill. But the most moving stories of all were the ones I heard directly from the local people I met. You’ll meet them, too, and hear their personal experiences during a conversation with two political refugeees at a local café in Milan to discuss the deeply divisive issue of immigration in Italy.
