Alpine Circle

Round Trips & Touring in Graubünden

Round trip through Graubünden

Iceland has the Golden Circle, South Africa has the Garden Route and Graubünden has the new Alpine Circle. This round trip through the Graubünden mountains combines the most striking sights of Switzerland's largest canton.

In contrast to classic road trips, the Alpine Circle relies on a wide variety of forms of transport - the electric car, the electric bike and the train. No matter which means of transport you choose: the alpine round trip through Graubünden is a unique experience both on wheels and on rails. The absolute highlights include the Swiss National Park, the Landwasser Viaduct, the Rhine Gorge and the Diavolezza Glacier Experience. In our destination, the idyllic Sertig side valley and Klosters, a chic chalet-style village, are part of the round trip.
