Footplate rides - For those who like to see where they’re going

The dream of any railway fan: a footplate ride, accompanied by a railway employee, on an RhB locomotive as it runs along the highest Alpine rail crossing or through the wildly romantic valley of Albulatal, complete with an interesting explanation of the run.

This is where the wonders of primeval nature, centuries of civilised culture and the pinnacle of the engineer’s art all come together on our UNESCO World Heritage railway. This is where primeval nature, centuries of civilised culture and the pinnacle of the engineer’s art all come together. And yet: what could be more magical than standing on the engine footplate as tons of engineered metal make light work of the mountain slopes? They tempt you to venture onto the mountain. That’s railway fever for you!
