The terminus of the Bernina Line. You can also reach it without the Bernina Express by regular regional train. Or by bus from Samedan or Pontresina to La Prese and then change to the regional train for the rest of the journey.

The station, located at an altitude of 429 meters above sea level, was opened on June 29, 1902, along with the newly constructed line from Sondrio. The placement of the station building on the side was a preliminary construction step for the then-planned but never-realized extension towards Bormio, the so-called Ortler Railway. Since July 1, 1908, Tirano has also served as a transfer station to the Bernina Railway. At that time, the RhB built its own station building on the forecourt of the Italian station. Passenger traffic on the Italian line is now handled by Trenord. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bahnhof_Tirano

But are you sure it's the Mortirolo Pass? The real Mortirolo Pass is above the Foppa Pass, then it was swapped with the latter on the main road that goes up from Monno.

A beautiful train station in the small town of Tirano with its approximately 9,000 inhabitants.

The BERNINA Express also starts here!

We started from Prato Valentino, a long but not demanding route. Very beautiful! Also, despite it being November, the temperatures were around 20 degrees

Right on the paved road at the intersection with the Five Crazy Down - Schiazzera trail is this eagle beak-shaped rock with prehistoric man carvings. It is likely that other similar rocks exist in the entire area but few have been discovered.

Small station with very helpful staff for information on timetables/costs/reservations on the Bernina Express
