Ospizio
Bernina.

Ospizio Bernina, sitting at 2,253 meters elevation, marks the highest point of the Bernina Express railway line and the watershed between north and south. This isolated mountain station overlooks the stunning Lago Bianco, whose milky turquoise waters come from glacier meltwater rich in rock flour. The location offers a unique high-alpine environment where visitors can experience dramatic weather changes, observe alpine wildlife, and enjoy some of the most photographed railway scenes in Switzerland. The historic hospice building that gives the station its name once provided shelter to travelers crossing the pass, and today serves hikers and railway passengers exploring this remote corner of the Alps.
