The spectacular Bernina route from St. Moritz to Tirano, Italy is the highest (7,391 ft.) open air crossing of the Swiss Alps by rail. Awarded Unesco World Heritage Status in 2009 this magnificent scenery gets my vote as the most beautiful mountain rail scenery in the world. Shot in HD on Christmas day 2004 the cold and scenery at times literally took my breath away. The Bernina line is 100 years old in 2010.
