Switzerland - Bernina Express
The Bernina Express. A legend. The best connection between the icy north and the sunny south. A connection that runs through the ancient landscape of Switzerland’s beautiful Grisons / Graubünden region. The Flash map of the Rhaetian Railway gives you a detailed overview of each route.
The Bernina Express runs between Chur, the oldest town in Switzerland, and the village of Tirano in the picturesque region of Veltlin. Such is the simple expression of this pleasurable experience, not counting the 55 tunnels and 196 bridges, or the inclines of up to one in seven that are virtually in the territory normally operated by rack railways. All this is in addition to the glaciers and palm trees, the top cultural sites and picturesque villages – plus the feeling of freedom and open space that you experience in our observation cars, with their panoramic views of the unique surrounding countryside.

Switzerland - Four-Day Crocodile Ride
The Rhaetian Railway possesses a number of unique locomotives. Five such locomotives form the hit attraction on our four-day Crocodile Ride. Includes overnight accommodation in St. Moritz. With all manner of nostalgia thrown in.
The Bernina Crocodile is running once again! It has taken several years to restore this locomotive, which had previously spent two decades in France. But now it’s home again, running on the Bernina Line.
This alone would be reason to celebrate. But the four-day Crocodile Ride offers even more. Five Crocodile locomotives of various gauges will be on hand for you to marvel at, as they once again pull passenger trains through the mountain landscape. This is the Romance of Railways with capital letters! All yours to enjoy for four whole days. Including three restful nights in St. Moritz for you to dream of…… crocodiles!

Switzerland - Rhätische Bahn
Switzerland - Rhaetische Bahn / Rhaetian Railway The Rhaetian Railway
Shared thoughts form invisible bonds between people. Over 100 years ago, these bonds began to take the form of steel rails. Rails that connect people, in our case, via the wild mountains of Switzerland’s Grisons / Graubünden region. This tradition is part of the pattern of obligations of the Rhaetian Railway. As a modern company.
