> Bernina Pass

The Bernina Pass (el. 2328 m.) is a high mountain pass in the Bernina Range of the Alps.

The Bernina Express from Davos to Poschiavo and Tirano is one of the most impressive train travel in Switzerland.

> St. Moritz


> Julier Pass

Julier Pass (el. 2284 m) is a mountain pass in Switzerland, in the Albula Range of the Alps. We crossed this pass while traveling from Davos to St. Moritz.


> Landwasser Viaduct

65 m high and 136 m long - the Landwasser Viaduct is probably the most famous railway bridge in Switzerland and is seen in most Swiss travel brochures. The viaduct has six arches, each spanning 20m. One of its ramps exits straight into the Landwasser Tunnel.

To reach the bridge we had to walk for about 800 metres from the car park. The trail is not clearly marked and we had to ask the local people for directions.

> Flüela Pass

Matterhorn, travel wonder in Switzerland, 2006

Matterhorn is the most distinctive peak in the world, thanks to its dramatic pyramidal shape. On the border between Switzerland and Italy, its graceful pyramid (4,478 meters high) towers over the Swiss town of Zermatt.
