The Rhaetian Railway

If you fly to Zurich – or arrive there by train – you can then embark on a stunning onward railway journey to the Engadin Valley.

The journey requires 2 changes: firstly, a 15 minute ride takes you from the airport terminal to Zurich’s main station. Then a 75 minute journey takes you through the attractive Rhein valley to Chur. Change here onto a narrow gauge mountain train to St. Moritz and enjoy a 2hr ride on the UNESCO World Heritage Rhaetian Railway.

Visit www.sbb.ch/en where you can plan your journey and book your tickets. Be sure to select ‘full fare’ from the drop down (unless you are also buying a Half Price Travelcard for extended travel in Switzerland). Return tickets are only available for same day travel, so you will need to buy two single tickets. Guidance is also available by telephone from the Switzerland Travel Centre – 0207 420 4900

What do you do when you arrive at St. Moritz?
Jump on a No.4 bus for the 15 minute ride that will drop you 120m from the Hotel Maria in Sils. (There is a bus every hour at 15 mins. past the hour)
