You'll be able to have a train from St. Moritz to Tirano, it was the initial Bernina Line.

Ospozio Bernina, altitude of 2253 metres, may be the greatest reason for the railway. The river along this area of the track is Lago Bianco. On one for reds from the lake, water flows through the river Motel and also the Danube in to the Black Ocean and on the other hand, water flows through the river Adda and also the Po in to the Adriatic Ocean.

Within the Italian speaking area of the Bernina Express, the train sometimes uses the roads from the towns and appears a lot more like a tram than the usual train.
