Shortly after the construction of the Gotthard tunnel, Switzerland pulled off another pioneering achievement: the construction of the Thusis – St. Moritz railway line between 1899 and 1903. This opened the Upper Engadine to tourists. The Rhaetian Railway still passes over the same bridges and through the same loop tunnels. A still greater challenge was the subsequent construction of the Bernina Railway. No other railway in the world overcomes such steep gradients and winds through such steep curves without the help of a cogwheel.

  1. Thanks for your tip! Following your steps I got the cheap tickets. Actually, I paid 6 more euros to pick a full refund one. 🙂

  2. The ones you gave. The Lord is on your side. I do not want to be away. Set me aside. He put me aside in everything.

  3. My husband and I traveled to Switzerland four years ago and we did both the Bernina and the Glazier Express. We definitely rated the Bernina the best! Both are great and the entire country of Switzerland should be a national park.

  4. Myself and my wife had a Switzerland experience of about 12 days along with our Swiss friend Lisa during 2018 when we got the experience in Bernina Express and reached Tirano in Italy.Our life time experience.Wonderful!

  5. Wow! This is indeed spectacular! Hopefully one day I would love to visit and take this incredible trip!

  6. Those born here on this route are very much loved & lucky ones by celestial blessings of prvs birth. The words that float here are " the majesty is above all sight. The beauty dwarfs all might."
