By Rail - The trip with the Rhaetian Railway (RhB) from Chur to Tiefencastel to the Engadin, with its helical tunnels and breathtakingly high viaducts, is one of the most scenic and technically interesting in Europe. Another option is to travel from Landquart via Klosters and the Vereina Tunnel. This way you can reach the St. Moritz region from Zurich Main Railway Station in just 3 hours and 21 minutes.
At the beginning of July 2008, the UNESCO World Heritage Committee named the “Rhaetian Railway in the Albula/Bernina landscapes” as a World Heritage Site. The RhB is only the third railway in the world to be deemed by UNESCO as “universally outstanding”.
By Road - You can reach the Engadin by car comfortably and safely from anywhere in Switzerland, Italy, Germany or Austria.
For example:
- Zurich - St. Moritz, 200 km, 3 hours
- Milan - St. Moritz, 175 km, 3 hours
