This Alpine round trip packs the best of what the Alps has to offer into two days: Albula Valley, Rhine Gorge, Oberalp Pass, Schöllenen and Gotthard Railway. The panoramic tour boasts spectacular views of the Alps – better than any postcard.
The journey starts in Chur, then continues via Ilanz and Disentis through the Rhine Gorge towards Andermatt. Then it's on via Göschenen: Lugano with its lido, piazza and Monte Brè conjures up all the charm of the South.
The return journey on the Bernina Express Bus takes passengers past Lake Como and through the vineyards of Valtellina. The crowning glory is the trip on the Bernina Express: first climbing up to the top of the RhB, the Ospizio Bernina, then through the Albula Valley and back over the famous Landwasser Viaduct to Chur.
Since 6 November 2020 there are extensive restrictions on public life in the Italian region of Lombardy. For the time being the Bernina Express will only be running to and from Campocologno. The same is true of regional trains and the Bernina Panorama Winter offer. It is recommended travellers embark and disembark in Poschiavo or Le Prese.
Une manière fascinante d’offrir autrement.

Taking the UNESCO World Heritage route is just one of the highlights of the Alpine round trip.
Nowhere else in Europe are so many castles, fortresses and ruins to be found in such a small area. Between Chur and Thusis, medieval towers, castles and ancestral homes stand perched on rocks or loom up out of dark woods and villages. The castles of Hohenrätien and Ehrenfels exude a palpable sense of history.
Les habitants de la région appellent les monumentales gorges du Rhin entre Ilanz et Reichenau «Ruinaulta» en romanche. Des oiseaux rares, des parois rocheuses blanches et de bizarres formations minérales vous attendent au Grand Canyon de la Suisse, qui ne peut être traversé qu'à pied, en vélo, en train ou en bateau.
Auf dem Oberalppass erreicht der Zug eine Höhe von 2 033 Meter über Meer. Ganz in der Nähe, im Lai da Tuma, entspringt der Rhein. Der Strom fliesst vom Gotthardmassiv 1233 Kilometer bis nach Holland in die Nordsee.
Legend has it that the devil once built the first bridge over the Schöllenen Gorge. For a long time, the ravine between Andermatt and Göschenen was a major obstacle on the route from Uri over the Gotthard to the south. Only when the Devil's Bridge was built in 1200 did it become easier to cross.
Lugano est non seulement le centre économique du Tessin, mais aussi la ville des parcs, des fleurs, des villas et des édifices sacrés. Vous y goûterez une atmosphère toute méditerranéenne. De la montagne de la commune de Lugano, le Monte Brè, découvrez le paysage bien au-delà des frontières.
Le viaduc forme un élégant virage de 360 degrés, prolongeant ainsi la voie en vue de permettre l’ascension de l’étroit val Poschiavo. Le viaduc hélicoïdal de Brusio est considéré comme la construction la plus spectaculaire de la ligne de la Bernina.
Le point culminant des Chemins de fer rhétiques se situe à une altitude de 2253 mètres. La ligne de partage des eaux entre le Lago Bianco et le Lej Nair constitue à la fois la frontière linguistique entre l’Engadine rhéto-romane et le val Poschiavo en Italie. A la gare, le Bistro Albergo, rénové en 2013, propose de délicieux goûters.
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.
