About the trail
This route does not only lead you to a magnificent piece of nature but it also offers the opportunity to learn about some interesting railway construction techniques. Several spiral loops have been constructed in order to allow trains to gain height gradually before reaching the Albula tunnel near Preda. There are several bridges and tunnels as well. Information boards provide information along this Albula railway trail.
You can extend the hike by another 3 hours by continuing on to Filisur.
If you want to learn even more about the impressive Albula line, we'd recommend to visit the railway museum just across the rail station in Bergün.
