Beautifully situated lake. From here, the Bernina Pass is more beautiful to drive from Tirano

The climb to the Bernina Pass starts from Tirano (440 m asl) and is 34 km long, in a wonderful valley with spectacular views over the Bernina glacier.

The first part of the road is a very challenging one, with steep slopes until the Poschiavo lake. You can easily cycle to Poschiavo (the town) even on secondary roads and bike paths. Then the climb, which is very long and hard, starts again up to the pass.

The average gradient of the slope is 7.5%, the maximum slope is 9,5%. The vertical drop is over 1.890 m.

San Gian Church

Highlight • Religious Site

The San Gian Church is one of the most famous places of worship in the Engadine. The first church was built on this hill east of Celerina in the late Middle Ages. Later the late Gothic tower was added, which lost its roof in a lightning strike. It has not been rebuilt to this day.

View of the Morteratsch Glacier from Montebello Curve

Highlight • Viewpoint

Morteratsch Glacier Trail
16 stops provide information about the retreat of the glacier and the mysterious life in its foreground. Where else can you marvel at, touch and even walk on the eternal ice after such a short walk? After just 50 minutes' walk from Morteratsch station, you can see the destination: the milky glacier lake and the gigantic tongue of ice.
The LiteraTOUR offers a literary treat. The captivating audio texts can be listened to individually using a QR code at the 16 information points along the Morteratsch Glacier Trail. The stories tell anecdotes, poems and tour reports from various eras.

September 22, 2022,Vom Inntal (Samedan) nach Tirano über Berninapass

relatively easy tour without extreme climbs, the descent to Tirano without any counter climbs; Return journey with the Berninabahn another super experience. Change in Pontresina to Samedan.

August 26, 2025,Tag 1: Von Sankt Moritz nach Tirano

We're back on the road in Italy🇮🇹🤩
The best thing about our starting point, St. Moritz, is that you can leave quickly😂 The landscape is beautiful, but... St. Moritz, after all😎

We climbed the Bernina Pass a bit panting because of A. hunger pangs🤪, B. headwind, and C. altitude sickness. After two paninis, half a pack of biscotti, and plenty …

June 7, 2024,2024/4 Pontresina-Posciavo ( mit Zug zurück bis Berninapass)

The attempt to get to Posciavo via the "Alp Grüm" bike route failed due to the snow just before the lake. So I took the road to Posciavo. I then took the train back up the impressive and varied route to the Bernina Pass and then mostly on trails back to Pontresina. Consequently, the data provided is not relevant.
