Bernina Express - The Bernina Express is the most beautiful link between the alpine Engadin and the Mediterranean south, running from St. Moritz to the picturesque town of Tirano in the Valtellina. The spectacular ride takes in 55 tunnels and 196 bridges, as well as gradients of up to 7 per cent – without the benefit of cog traction. The journey, past important monuments and the picturesque villages of the secluded Valposchiavo, is rich in contrasts. At first, the glaciers you see through the panoramic windows seem close enough to touch; soon after, you are gazing out on the palms of the sunny south.
Glacier Express - The slowest express train in the world – as the Glacier Express is affectionately known – offers a wonderfully close-up experience of the majestic landscape of the Swiss Alps. On the 7½-hour journey from St. Moritz to Zermatt, the train passes over 291 bridges and through 91 tunnels. A particularly pleasurable way to enjoy the unforgettable views is over a mouth-watering meal which is served at your seat.
Romantic horse-drawn carriage rides - One of the most enjoyable ways to explore the Upper Engadin and its sleepy side valleys is on a romantic ride in a horse-drawn carriage. Whether by day or in the evening, you enjoy the beauty of the landscape in total relaxation to the sound of the leisurely trotting of the horses. At your destination you can feast on gastronomic delights before setting off home.
Horse riding - Exploring the picturesque side valleys on horseback, following mule trails through aromatic coniferous forests and across flower-filled alpine meadows… You do not have to be a horse fanatic to enjoy riding in the Engadin.
Europe’s highest scheduled boat service - The highest-altitude scheduled boat service in Europe has a long tradition: it has been operating on Lake Sils for more than 100 years. A ride in the small boat plying between Sils Maria and Maloja makes a delightful excursion. Along the 40-minutes journey, the boat calls at three stops, where you can step ashore or embark once again.
