Bernina Pass

The long, gentle glacier-and-railway climb from the Engadin to 2,328 m

A long but never steep high-alpine pass from the Engadin, climbing 18 km at a gentle 3.3% past the Morteratsch glacier and the Rhaetian Railway to the Lago Bianco at 2,328 m — big views, no shade, and a steady stream of traffic — before a 30 km plunge into Italy toward Tirano.
