your car behind, you won’t need it anyway. The motto is "the journey is
the destination", so lean back, relax and enjoy the trip when it starts
right at the airport and brings you as far as the highest railway station in
Europe.
And don’t forget to experience the king of Swiss trains –
the panoramic trains like the Glacier Express, GoldenPass, Bernina Express
& Co. are worth the journey at any time of the year. And with the family
card children up to 15 years travel for free with their parents. Start planning
your holidays with these exciting ticket options.

I must say the Engadine valley in Switzerland is certainly one of the most beautiful tourist destinations. Also, I never knew even reading about it could be this much interesting. I wholeheartedly thank you for sharing such informative piece. However, besides Switzerland visa, do I need anything else to explore this magnificent valley?
