Life does not always run in a nice, straight line. There are also bends, curves and the occasional obstacle to negotiate. And sometimes you come across things in life that really do make you realise how good it is to be alive. Welcome aboard the Bernina Express. The joie de vivre line.
Some things are so magical that they leave you speechless. How are we to describe the dream-like wonder of the valley of Albulatal, for example, without just trotting out old clichés about it being “fairytale-like”? And the mountains that tower above the valley, seeming to reach up to the heavens; are they really just “majestic”? And how do we put into words the lush and colourful landscape of Engadin, or the way the sunlight sparkles on the eternally icy summit of Bernina? What is it really like to be in Puschlav, the southern mountain valley of a thousand delights? And how are we to describe the sudden pleasure of sipping a coffee on the Piazza in Poschiavo, as the gentle winter sun shines down to warm the face and gladden the heart?
Come and discover all these delights for yourself: on the Albula-Bernina Line of the Bernina Express, which links North to South, almost touching the sky along the way.
