1 TOURCODE: GRADE: D JULY - SEPTEMBER July - 11 July 08 August - 16 August 04 September - 12 September 9 days duration THE BERNINA EXPRESS Following Switzerland s most scenic train journey. Ramblers Worldwide Holidays 2011 A20505v1/GS
2 HOLIDAY INFORMATION TOUR DESCRIPTION This information is additional to our General Information Booklet, which is enclosed. This holiday combines the two things at which the Swiss excel magnificent mountain walking and the best train system in the world. It is a holiday amongst big mountains, a world of glaciers and craggy peaks. And even with walks at a D grade we can still get high amidst spectacular scenery and the train does most of the climbing for us! The route is unique, showcasing alpine landscapes around the Albula and Bernina Passes. The train negotiates the 55 tunnels, 196 bridges, It travels from the towering glaciers in the Alps to the swaying palms of Italy. It is the highest mountain railway in the Alps and even has a UNESCO World Heritage status. We will walk a section of the Bernina Express route each day. Some sections of the path will be alongside the track while others lead us inland to explore the countryside, towns and villages along the route. We will also take a public train in sections (which operates along the same track, thus same views) and once we reach the end of the line at Tirano, we will travel back to Chur onboard the great Bernina Express itself. Our July and August departures will experience some wonderful high alpine flora within the mountain meadows, whilst in September the cooler days and changing colours on the mountainsides give superb early autumnal panoramas. But whenever you go, you can be guaranteed some of the best mountain walking on the planet. Our hotels are all located in towns and villages right along the route. The detailed itinerary below gives details of our intended programme. Please note however that the order of the itinerary may change depending on our arrival date, local conditions, train related restrictions and seasonal or unexpected closures of sites.
3 Day: Overnight accommodation: 1: Thusis 2: Bergün 3: Pontresina 4: Pontresina Daily itinerary: We fly to Zurich from London Heathrow and transfer to our hotel in Thusis (2 ½ hours) by rail. This morning we experience an engineering masterpiece and UNESCO World Heritage site. We travel on the Albula line with countless bridges, loop and spiral tunnels taking us only 30 minutes from Thusis to Filisur. After lunch, we walk to Bergün, which take us approximately 3.5 hours. 6 miles (9.5km), ascent 500m / descent 200m maximum altitude 1366m. We start our day with a throw-back into our childhood. The first Heidi movie was filmed in the nearby village of Latsch. From here our path leads to the nature reserve of Parc Ela, before we reach Preda. The walk will take us about 3 hours. 4.5 miles (7km), ascent 550m / descent 250m maximum altitude 1788m. After lunch we will board a train to Pontresina, where we will spend the next two nights.. Today you have the opportunity to do an optional glacier hike near Diavolezza, arranged by a local mountain guide. We have intentionally not included this in our programme as it is above the grade (see further information on this hike in our walks section). Alternatively join the Ramblers Worldwide leader on a pleasant walk from Pontresina to the Muottas Muragl mountain hut (part aided by cable car). 3.5 hours, 6 miles (9.5km), minimal ascent / descent 525m. Alternatively you can take a day out to explore Pontresina itself. Meals: D
4 Day: Overnight accommodation: Daily itinerary: Today we travel part of the route of the Bernina Express, over the Bernina Pass from St Moritz to the Puschlav and into Italy in Tirano. On this route we will be rewarded with wonderful mountain scenery of the Morteratsch Glacier, Diavolezza and Lagalb. Meals: 5: Tirano 6: Tirano 7: Chur 8: Chur 9 Our walk is fairly leisurely but leads us into high Alpine terrain. We pass Lago Bianco and marvel at the magnificent views of the town of Poschiavo. This walk takes a little over an hour. Our lunch break is spent at Alp Grüm, from where we can enjoy a view of the imposing Palu Glacier and the Lago di Poschiavo deep down in the valley. 3 miles (5km), ascent 200m / descent 600m maximum altitude 2359m. The section of the trail we follow is called the smugglers path and leads us from Viano to Tirano, crossing the border into Italy as we do so. On the way we can enjoy panoramic views of Brusio and its round viaduct, before ascending through terraced vineyards. The walk will take around 3 hours, 4.5 miles (7km), ascent 100m / descent 900m. The remainder of the afternoon is at leisure. Today we will go aboard the Bernina Express, which seamlessly connects the warm balmy south with the cool airy north and effortlessly overcomes the steepest gradients travelling from Tirano to Chur. A day to discover Chur. We can visit the Gothic old town with St. Martin s Church and Martinsplatz and all those quaint narrow streets and pretty squares. Alternatively you can take the train an hour up into the mountains to Arosa from where there is a wealth of walks. Transfer by train from Chur to Zurich airport for our return flight back to the UK. B D (Dinner) B (Breakfast)
5 HOLIDAY GRADE & WALKING PROGRAMME This holiday is graded D. We enjoy scenic walking at a moderate pace, over meadows, across plateaux, and through pine forests. We will also go up to some higher routes - however, these walks are planned to avoid steep terrain and will make use of the mountain railways and cable cars to gain height. Travel to and from Zurich and between the centres are included in this holiday. A standard class rail ticket is included and covers all of the journeys described in the itinerary (with the exception of the travel to optional glacier hike in Diavolezza or the train journey up to Arosa from Chur). In addition to this the ticket allows a 50% reduction on any additional mainline rail journeys that you wish to take. So please allow extra funds for this if you intend on taking any additional trips. Diavolezza Glacier hike: Escorted by a well-informed local mountain guide, you will depart from the mountain station of the Diavolezza aerial cable car, cross the glacier to the promontory of the Isla Persa and continue to the side moraines to the Boval Hut. From here there are spectacular views over the Piz Palu and Piz Bernina. You will then descend to the glacier s entry point and finish at Morteratsch station. The return journey is by train to Pontresina. 5 hours, 8 miles (12km), 1,100m ascent. For this you will need sturdy walking boots with a sole able to take crampons, good windproof / waterproof clothing, gloves, and hat. Sun glasses and walking poles are recommended. Crampons will be provided and included in the cost of the day which depends on how many of the group choose to take this optional and locally booked hike. Please inform your tour leader at the earliest opportunity if you want to take part in this hike. Last minute bookings may not be possible as a local guide may not be available. Each evening, the leader will discuss the programme for the following day with you. Should you not wish to join the party, please let the leader know. INSURANCE Please make sure that your insurance for this holiday covers you for guided walking above 2000m. TRAVEL INFORMATION We will fly between London (Heathrow) and Zurich with British Airways. Details of your baggage allowance will be confirmed in your travel documents sent to you approximately 10 days before departure. Travel between the airport and the first hotel is by rail and takes approximately 2.5 hours.
6 Your baggage will be transferred for you by rail so you are not required to carry your luggage with you when walking / travelling to each centre. But please ensure that you have a day sack to carry any essential items that you will require throughout the day. If you are joining and leaving in Switzerland, it is assumed, unless you have advised us otherwise, that you will meet the party at our hotel in Thusis and leave the party at the hotel in Chur.

Lunches are not included and can be taken as a picnic or at cafes and restaurants during the walks. On the transfer days a picnic may be appropriate to eat during the journey. It is becoming increasingly common for Swiss hotels to include a service charge for tap water at meals. This is something that we constantly attempt to challenge with all hotels, but some of our hotels on this holiday will unfortunately not be beaten into submission on the matter! CLOTHING & EQUIPMENT The Swiss climate is temperate and it should be warm, but in mountainous areas there is always the possibility of rain, especially at higher altitudes, and even snow. We advise you to take windproof trousers, a windproof jacket, fleece, jumper, gloves, waterproofs and hat, as well as light summer clothes. Lightweight walking boots with moulded rubber soles are strongly recommended, as some paths are rough and steep. Walking poles may also be useful. The sun s rays at altitude are very strong, so we recommend that everyone wears a hat in sunny weather. High protection sun cream is also advisable. As a guideline for a walking kit checklist: Walking boots with good ankle support essential Waterproofs jacket and trousers essential Lightweight trousers and shorts Shirts or T-shirts for walking in Walking socks several pairs! Lightweight fleece or jumper Hat Day sack for carrying anything extra you ll need on the walk Umbrella it can be used also for protection from the sun as well as rain Lightweight drinking bottle to carry whilst walking Small first aid kit plasters, insect repellent, etc Lunch box for picnic food Evening wear is casual; you ll be pleased to know.
9 TRAVELLING LIGHT Our luggage will be transferred for us when travelling to each centre; however you will be required to handle your own baggage on the airport transfers where we travel by train.
