The world’s most famous Bear Park. . .and it’s FREE

Bern’s heraldic animal has been released into new-found freedom on the beautiful slope of the Aare river. The creators of the new, bear-friendly Bear Park have built a landscape where Björk and Finn can climb, fish and play, but also just retreat and relax.

A visit to the BearPark is a special experience for children as well as adults. Paths run through the park down to the Aare riverside path, giving visitors great insight into the lives of the bears. They can watch the bears play, bathe and climb right in front of their eyes.

Bernina Express – From glaciers to palms

Experience one of the most spectacular ways to cross the Alps: The Albula and Bernina Lines connect northern and southern Europe. A high-point of the ride is the panoramic view from the Bernina Express, as it passes mighty glaciers on its descent to a land of swaying palms.

The most beautiful experience of the Alps: From the high towering glaciers of the mountains down to the swaying palms of Italy, the highest mountain railway in the Alps provides a link between northern and southern Europe. It does so in the most wonderful way imaginable, on a railway line that coexists in perfect harmony with its glorious mountain setting. The train makes short work of the 55 tunnels, 196 bridges and slopes of up to 70 millimetres per metre of incline that are found along its route. The physical high-point of the RhB is Ospizio Bernina, at 2,253 metres above sea level.

The wonders of nature and the cultural achievements of man merge into one of the best ways ever to experience the Alps. The section between Thusis and Tirano has been classed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. A milestone in our history.

By the way: The leisure voucher can now be found in our tourist map. The tourist map is available at all operated Rhaetian Railway stations or can be orderedonline.
