Milan to Swiss Alps: St. Moritz & Iconic Albula Red Train｜Switzerland

Embark on an unforgettable journey from Milan into the heart of the Swiss Alps, combining the elegance of St. Moritz with one of the most spectacular railway experiences in Europe: the legendary UNESCO-listed Albula Line.

Depart from Milan by comfortable coach and watch the scenery gradually transform as you approach Switzerland, surrounded by dramatic Alpine landscapes, mountain valleys and picturesque villages.

Reach St. Moritz, one of the world’s most famous mountain destinations. Located at approximately 1,856 meters above sea level, this elegant resort is surrounded by the magnificent lakes and peaks of the Engadin Valley. Enjoy time to explore its charming center, admire the Alpine scenery and experience its unique cosmopolitan atmosphere.

Then, get ready for the highlight of your adventure: board the iconic Swiss red train and travel along the historic Albula Railway from St. Moritz toward Thusis.

Recognized as part of the UNESCO World Heritage Rhaetian Railway, the Albula Line is considered a masterpiece of railway engineering. Inaugurated in 1903 after only five years of construction, the route was designed to blend harmoniously into the spectacular Alpine landscape.

During the journey, the train winds through mountain valleys, crosses impressive viaducts and travels through ingenious spiral tunnels. Admire engineering landmarks including the famous Landwasser Viaduct, the Solis Viaduct, and the remarkable spiral tunnels between Bergün and Preda.

Over approximately 62 kilometers, the railway overcomes around 1,000 meters of elevation without using a rack railway system—an extraordinary achievement made possible by its innovative network of tunnels, curves and viaducts.

Travel through breathtaking scenery and characteristic Alpine locations including Samedan, Bever, Preda, Bergün, Filisur and Tiefencastel, before reaching Thusis, where your experience concludes.

More than simply a train ride, this journey combines history, engineering and some of Switzerland’s most impressive landscapes into one unforgettable Alpine adventure.
