What To Expect
Chur
Depart Zürich on a comfortable intercity train heading east towards Chur, Switzerland’s oldest town. Enjoy changing landscapes along the way: the serene blue waters of Lake Zürich, followed by the impressive Walensee, framed by the dramatic Churfirsten mountain range. Vineyards line the slopes as the train winds through the Sarganserland region, giving a first taste of the alpine scenery to come. This is a relaxing introduction to the journey—already showcasing lakes, peaks, and Swiss precision rail travel before you even reach the Rhaetian Railway’s historic tracks in Chur.
Filisur
Board the Rhaetian Railway’s Albula Line, one of the most spectacular narrow-gauge routes in the world. Leaving Chur, the red train soon climbs gently through the Domleschg Valley, dotted with castles and fruit orchards. The line begins to twist into the mountains, following the rushing Albula River through forests and rocky gorges. Look out for elegant stone viaducts, short tunnels, and classic Swiss villages such as Thusis and Tiefencastel. Every curve offers a new postcard view of peaks and valleys as the engineering masterpiece of the Albula Line gradually reveals itself on the way to Filisur, gateway to the iconic Landwasser Viaduct.
