Tirano

Peaceful, tranquil Tirano in Northern Italy attracts visitors for its lovely scenery, and because it’s the starting point for the famous Bernina Express, or “Red Train” as it is commonly called, which takes visitors between Tirano and St. Moritz in Switzerland. Because the Bernina Express is the steepest rail route in the world and passes through some of the most beautiful Alpine scenery, many visitors make their way to Tirano to experience this epic journey. But Tirano itself boasts some beautiful sights, including the Sanctuary of Madonna di Tirano, the town’s principal monument, as well as friendly restaurants and cafés to have a drink and relax on your journey.
