Experiences by rail

Enjoy a ride on the historic narrow-gauge railway through the beautiful Graubünden high mountain landscape and discover the UNESCO World Heritage Albula/Bernina railway line, the classic Glacier Express and Bernina Express, and the Landwasser World with the iconic Wiesner and Landwasser Viaducts. Numerous day trips by train are available from Davos – a delight for anyone who appreciates nature, culinary delights, and nostalgic railway experiences.

From summer 2025, Landwasserwelt awaits you, a unique adventure space centered around the world-famous Landwasser Viaduct. At 136 meters long and 65 meters high, supported on five imposing pillars, the Landwasser Viaduct is a superlative structure. It is considered a masterpiece and one of the landmarks of Graubünden. The five adventure worlds of railway, culture, agriculture, forest, and water offer a wide range of activities. Davos is a gateway to Landwasserwelt. By train, the journey on the Albula line takes less than half an hour to cross the famous Wiesner Viaduct. Historic trains and the Albula Railway Museum offer insights into railway history, while viewpoints and the viaduct shuttle offer impressive perspectives. Hiking trails, interactive tours, and visits to regional farms round out the offerings. Landwasserwelt can be explored individually – as a day trip or a multi-day adventure. The Landwasser World passes, available online, allow the use of public transport and admission to various attractions.

Today, the Alps no longer have to be conquered. The most beautiful crossing of the Alps already exists: the Albula and Bernina route of the Rhaetian Railway. This connects the north and south of Europe in a uniquely beautiful way - with the Bernina Express. Since 2008, the route from Thusis to Tirano has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This train journey is an ideal day trip from Davos Klosters.

This classic railway route offers the most beautiful journey between Davos, St. Moritz, and Zermatt. A comfortable train with panoramic carriages takes you through breathtaking mountain scenery for almost eight hours – over 291 bridges, through 91 tunnels, and over the 2033-meter-high Oberalp Pass near the source of the Rhine. The Glacier Express showcases a cross-section of the diverse Swiss Alps and is a spectacular travel experience in any season. It winds through remote valleys, past rugged cliffs and idyllic mountain villages, over the Landwasser Viaduct, through the Rhine Gorge, the Grand Canyon of Switzerland, and finally to the foot of the Matterhorn. While you marvel at the unique mountain scenery, authentic Swiss dishes are freshly prepared in the kitchen and served to your seat. Seat reservations are mandatory on all trains and can be made at all train stations and travel agencies in Switzerland.
