White to Green via Bernina

The Bernina Express is a train that loops on serpentine tracks over the Bernina Pass, from St Moritz to Turino Italy. We decided to use our Eurail Passes to enjoy a day of vistas. And the views were incredible! The train has special panorama windows so we could see nearly 180 degrees. The snowy peaks were nearly blinding, but so beatiful. The valley villages were so quaint, we just thoroughly enjoyed the ride.

We arrived at Turino, Italy, which was green and warm, late summer weather. What a nice change after our cooler climate. We only had a half hour there, took time for gelato and something to drink, then back on the train. The ride back was even more fun, just a great way to see the mountains in the snow.
