Bernina Express
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bernina Express from Chur or Davos to Poschiavo and Tirano is one of the most impressive train travel in Switzerland. The "Bernina Railway" built the line from 1908-1910 and operated independently until the 1940s. The highest adhesion railway in Switzerland, the "Bernina Express" uses gradients of 7% to achieve a difference in height of about 1800 meters from the summit at Ospizio Bernina to Tirano. The name Bernina comes from the Bernina Pass where the train reaches its highest altitude at 2253 metres.
