the little red train between
St Mortiz and Zürich.
The most beautiful experience of the Alps: From the high towering
glaciers of the mountains down to the swaying palms of Italy, the
highest mountain railway in the Alps provides a link between northern
and southern Europe. It does so in the most wonderful way imaginable, on
a railway line that coexists in perfect harmony with its glorious
mountain setting. The train makes short work of the 55 Tunnels, 196
bridges and slopes of up to 70 millimetres per metre of incline that are
found along its route. The physical high-point of the RhB is Ospizio
Bernina, at 2,253 metres above sea level.
