Tirano: Gateway to the Alps
Nestled in the Valtellina valley of northern Italy, Tirano is a charming town best known as the starting point of the world-famous Bernina Express. This UNESCO-listed railway route climbs from Tirano through dramatic mountain landscapes, past glaciers and alpine villages, and across the Swiss border to St. Moritz. With its cobbled streets, Renaissance palaces, and the striking Sanctuary of the Madonna di Tirano, the town itself offers a rich blend of history and culture.
