Why St. Moritz

St. Moritz sits in the Upper Engadine beside its own lake, ringed by 3,000 m peaks — a glamorous alpine resort that has hosted two Winter Olympics. On a day trip you get an hour or two to wander the lakefront, ride the funicular views, or simply have lunch before the return.

What the journey is like

The ride there is the main event: the Brusio spiral viaduct, the turquoise Lago di Poschiavo, the glaciers around the Ospizio Bernina at 2,253 m, then the descent into the Engadine. See the full route stop by stop on our homepage, or the timetable.
