From the impressive glaciers of Engadin to the lovely palm trees of Lugano: The Palm Express invites visitors to a pleasantly diverse three-and-a-half-hour PostBus journey.
After leading over the Maloja pass, the road winds down to the Val Bregaglia. At Astasegna, travelers cross the Swiss-Italian border and little later arrive at the charming Italian town of Chiavenna. The journey’s final destination is Lugano, city of Mediterranean flair and one of Ticino’s main urban areas.
