By the light of the full moon
As the lights come on… Passengers on the Rhaetian Railway have a rare chance to travel by the light of the full moon. Three of our professional guides are on hand to greet you as you climb aboard the special observation car for this truly unique travel experience. Once you are settled into your seat with its grandstand view, we serve you a complimentary aperitif to help get you in the mood for the coming event. Then the train starts off along its UNESCO World Heritage run.
Our legendary railway line takes you through a magical world of imposing mountains and mighty glaciers, accompanied by the rich history of the region, as retold by our expert guides. Your special night-time trip begins in St. Moritz, from where it takes you past the ancient icy glaciers of the Berninamassiv section of the Swiss Alps and onward to Alp Grüm. One of the high points - literally - of this trip is a meal in the Ristorante Albergo Alp Grüm at 2,091 metres above sea level, where you get to enjoy a special Swiss fondue. You dine as twilight falls, and the full moon begins to light up the firmament over the canton of the Grisons/Graubünden. On the return section of the run, the lights on the train are switched off, and you ride along to the strains of classical music. Your Veltlin wine tastes twice as good.
