Anyone also pondering on attending the Bernina train 10 year anniversary festival? This weekend the Rhaetian railway (which is composed of two railways, the Albula and Bernina lines) celebrates 10 years, since it earned Unesco Heritage status, thus becoming the third railway in the world having Unesco status (the other two are in India and Austria).

It does it, by throwing a party with train parades, exhibits, food and live music entertainment. A special ticket will be issued, allowing participants to travel roundtrip for 35chf, either along the Bernina line (for those coming from the south/Tirano) or along the Albula line (for those coming from the north/Thusis)

The idea then is to head there on Saturday, watch the festival and, since it's considered an easy yet very rewarding trail, also throw in a hike along the Roseg Valley: https://www.andrewswalks.co.uk/valroseg.html

If you're interested, let's meet at 1pm at Pontresina station!
