Bernina Pass. It is a high mountain pass in the Bernina Range of the Alps, in the canton of Graubünden Grisons in eastern Switzerland. It connects the famous resort town of St. Moritz in the Engadin valley with the Italian-speaking Val Poschiavo, which ends in the Italian town of Tirano in Valtellina. The Bernina Pass is crossed by road and rail, with a popular tourist train, the Bernina Express operating year-round between Chur and Tirano. The train crosses the pass west of the road at a slightly lower 2,253 metres 7,392 ft at Ospizio Bernina - it is the highest adhesion railway route in Europe. Lago Bianco - on the picture - is one of the lakes located on the pass.
