Route: (Davos >) Zernez > Ofen Pass > Müstair > Mals (> Meran)
Experience a picturesque drive by Postbus from the Engadine Valley through the untouched Swiss National Park and the dreamy Münster Valley to Mals (Italy). Shortly after Zernez, the Postbus will start climbing the longish Ofen Pass (2049 m a.s.l.), from where you have a marvellous view onto the Münster Valley and the Vinschgau. In the Southwest, you will spy the grandiose Ortler Massive, a mountain group dominated by eternal snow. The drive then continues through charming villages until you reach the frontier village Müstair, with its famous cloister, a further UNESCO World Heritage Site. Then the Postbus drives through medieval Glurns, only to arrive in Mals a few minutes later. From here, change to the Vinschgerbahn which will bring you to Meran in a hour’s time (Swiss Travel System tickets are not valid; www.sad.it).
During the shoulder season, the Engadine-Meran Route Express has six scheduled runs daily in both directions. From May 13, 2010 to October 24, 2010, the buses run at an hourly interval, and there are two fast connections twice a day in each direction. Travel time approx. 1 1/2 hours. Seat reservations are mandatory and available from your local sales outlet, at larger train stations in Switzerland or online. Valid entry documents for Italy required.
Option: From Jun 26 to Oct 17, 2010, this trip can also be started in Davos, from where you can take a Postbus over the Flüela Pass to Zernez. The supplement to the Swiss Pass, Swiss Youth Pass and Swiss Flexi Pass of CHF 6.– per person has to be paid directly to the bus driver.
