RhB UNESCO World Heritage

At the beginning of July 2008, the World Heritage Committee of UNESCO added the Albula and Bernina Lines of the Rhaetian Railway to their world heritage list. The Rhaetian Railway is only the third railway in the world to be considered “universally outstanding” by UNESCO.

UNESCO World Heritage Track

Over 122 beautiful kilometres from Thusis via St. Moritz to Tirano, the line crosses 196 bridges, goes through 55 tunnels and passes through 20 towns and villages.

Culture

From a cultural point of view, these railway lines link not only German-, Romansh- and Italian-speaking areas, but open up access to culturally significant historic sites.

Railway Experiences

Magnificent panorama: from the wild, romantic Albula Valley into the light, airy Engadin, from the famous tourist centre of St. Moritz through the glacier world of the Bernina to the Mediterranean Valtellina.

Nature

As regards nature, the Albula and Bernina Lines, with their embedding in the high mountain landscape that now seems almost a given, are an outstanding model and provide a magnificent panorama.

Live

The “Rhaetian Railway in the Albula/Bernina Landscapes“ has got to be the most beautiful linking of North and South there is – providing a unique experience of the Alps.
