Alpine Circle: Round trip through Graubünden

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

In contrast to classic road trips, the Alpine Circle relies on the most diverse forms of transport - the e-car, the e-bike and the train. No matter which means of transport you choose: The Alpine Circle tour 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. Here in the destination, the idyllic side valley of Sertig and Klosters, a chic chalet-style village, are part of the round trip.
