Tirano and the little red train
Tirano is the starting point of the UNESCO-listed Bernina railway, which climbs without a rack to over 2,200 metres among glaciers and lakes and descends to St. Moritz in Switzerland. Before you leave: the sanctuary of the Madonna di Tirano and a plate of pizzoccheri.
