perfect for a long, lazy lunch in a

picturesque lakeside restaurant,

before spending the afternoon

exploring at your own pace.

a classic Alpine valley with soaring

peaks rising steeply on both sides.

famous Bernina express to the

summit at ospizio Bernina, where

you’re surrounded by stunning

vistas over snow-clad peaks. We

descend to the glamorous resort
