A CHARACTERISTIC VAI.I.E:y. IN the: BERNINA AI^PS 



The Bernina Alps run along the border-line between eastern Switzerland and Italy. 

 The picture shows the Val Bondasca, dominated by the Pizzo Badile (10,863 feet), and the 

 Pizzo Cengalo (11,070 feet). - These Alpine valleys on the Italian side are famous for their 

 grapes and still more famous for their wine. Each valley seems to produce a wine of a 

 different character to that of its neighbor, a few miles away. The best known of these 

 valleys, both for its scenery and its wine, is the Valtellina, where the Bernina. Alps end 

 toward the south.
