Best Berninapass Tours & Trips

Tucked between Switzerland and Italy, the Bernina Pass is a high-altitude marvel offering year-round beauty and adventure. Winding through the Rhaetian Railway - a UNESCO World Heritage Site - this route connects St. Moritz with Tirano, passing glaciated peaks, alpine meadows, and the dramatic Landwasser Viaduct. Unlike many alpine crossings, the Bernina Pass remains open all winter, drawing travelers with panoramic trains like the Bernina Express that glide past frozen lakes and snow-draped forests. Near the summit, Ospizio Bernina sits at 2,253 meters, offering access to hiking trails in summer and cross-country skiing in winter, while nearby Diavolezza delivers breathtaking views of the Bernina Range.
