How to get here

Important information

By Rail

The trip with the Rhaetian Railway (RhB) from Chur to Tiefencastel to the Engadin, with its helical tunnels and breathtakingly high viaducts, is one of the most scenic and technically interesting in Europe. Another option is to travel from Landquart via Klosters and the Vereina Tunnel. This way you can reach the St. Moritz region from Zurich Main Railway Station in just 3 hours and 21 minutes.

In early July 2008, UNESCO’s World Heritage Committee added the Albula/Bernina line of the Rhaetian Railway to its list of World Heritage sites. The Rhaetian Railway is only the third railway in the world judged by UNESCO to be of “outstanding universal value”.
