Alp Grüm
A Bernina line station with no road access. The station platform doubles as a viewpoint over the Palü Glacier and the Poschiavo Valley below.
Alp Grüm sits at 2,091 m and can be reached only by train or on foot. The restaurant terrace beside the station faces the Piz Palü glacier and Lago di Poschiavo in the valley far below. Here, the train begins its sharp zigzag descent. The Bernina Express stops briefly for photographs, but it is better to take a regional train, stay for 1 to 2 hours to enjoy a meal, and catch the next train. From here, you can hike to the Giants' Pots, the glacial potholes at Cavaglia.
