Bernina Herb Express
Journey into the Valposchiavo world of herbs
Acheter VISA, Mastercard, Diners, JCB, Postfinance
Enjoy a trip to Le Prese aboard the Bernina Herb Express. Experience the UNESCO World Heritage landscape up close while riding 1st or 2nd class in an RhB panoramic car. Prepare to be amazed and immerse yourself in the Valposchiavo world of herbs. A lunch that is 100% sourced in Valposchiavo awaits in Le Prese, where you can go on a tour of the herb fields and production facility of Raselli Erboristeria Biologica. Return to your point of departure aboard the Bernina Express or one of our regional trains in the afternoon or the following day.
The Bernina Herb Express offer can be booked Fridays from 10 June to 28 October 2022. A trip aboard the Bernina Herb Express is worthwhile in more ways than one: you gain an insight into how herb pioneer Reto Raselli produces herbs and get to travel to Le Prese aboard the Bernina Express at a special price.
New: Group offer from five people
The Bernina Herb Express can also be booked for a group of five or more people from Tuesday to Saturday from 7 June to 29 October 2022. Further information is available here.

Bernina Express
The most spectacular alpine crossing: linking language regions and cultures, the Bernina Express’s Tirano - Valposchiavo - St. Moritz / Chur / Davos / Landquart route follows a serpentine course without the aid of rack-and-pinion technology. Panoramic journeys through the UNESCO World Heritage landscape are a genuine treat. The Albula and Bernina sections are masterpieces of civil and railway engineering.
Raselli Erboristeria Biologica
Le Prese is home to the kingdom of herb king Reto Raselli. Under the “Erboristeria Biologica” brand, he cultivates, harvests and processes numerous organic herbs and flowers for retail and wholesale trade. Take an exciting tour to find out more about organic herb cultivation and enjoy a tasty lunch that is 100% Valposchiavo.
Albula/Bernina UNESCO World Heritage route
The Albula and Bernina section of track is a masterpiece in terms of civil engineering and routing. Landscape and railway blend into one: in wide radiuses, ingenious man-made structures punctuate rugged valleys. The Landwasser Viaduct, the helical tunnels between Bergün and Preda and the Brusio Circular Viaduct all stand testimony to the early, pioneering days of the railway.
Landwasser Viaduct
The viaduct at Filisur spans the Landwasser Valley and leads directly into a tunnel. The construction of the three main pillars in 1901/02 was an outstanding architectural feat, considering that the viaduct was built using only two cranes and without scaffolding. This is the most spectacular landmark on the Rhaetian Railway and it has become famous the world over.
Alp Grüm
Enjoy this unforgettable view of the Palü Glacier, Bernina Range, Bergamasque Alps and all of Valposchiavo! Alp Grüm station is on the border between the German- and Italian-speaking areas of Switzerland – although from a geographical point of view, Alp Grüm belongs to the German-speaking area.
Ospizio Bernina
The highest point on the RhB is situated 2,253 metres above sea level. The watershed between Lago Bianco and Lej Nair is also the language frontier between the Romansh-speaking Engadine and the Italian-speaking Valposchiavo. The Bistro Albergo at the railway station was renovated in 2013 and serves tasty snacks at teatime.
Valposchiavo
The valley in the southern Alps is a great place to enjoy lengthy hikes, leisurely strolls and fine regional specialities. Explore the historic heart of Poschiavo, centred around its pleasant piazza, and discover various aspects of the valley's history in one of the museums or the colourful "Spanish Quarter" built by returning emigrants. Soaking up the beautiful scenery at the Lago di Poschiavo makes a fitting end to a memorable trip.
