Description

While the famous sunny and clear "Champagne Climate" of the Upper Engadin region of Canton Graubünden was on full display in Pontresina as the Rhaetian Railway's Bernina Express departed, low-lying clouds were still shrouding the landscape as the train ascended the steep Bernina Line toward Ospizio Bernina, at the Bernina Pass.

This narrow-gauge line of the Rhätische Bahn connects the Upper Engadin region of Switzerland,through the rugged alps of the Bernina Range, to Tirano, Italy, on the border with Switzerland.

Through the courtesy of the RhB, this view, along Lago Bianco, was captured from the control cab of the popular Bernina Express during the climb.

As with the other routes of the RhB, the line is single tracked with passing sidings where, with typical Swiss precision, trains going in opposite directions can meet and pass with minimal delays.
