Along the famous track to pure excitement on wooden runners: that's what the Preda/Darlux – Bergün sledging adventure holds in store. The train will carry you up to Preda, where the sledging fun can begin on the trail down to Bergün. More adventurous sledgers can take the chairlift to Darlux, from where the hardcore trail descends to Bergün.

The journey there with the Rhaetian Railway is breathtaking in its own right – not least thanks to the legendary layout of the route through helical tunnels and over viaducts in the Albula Valley. From Preda, at 1,800 metres above sea level, the descent can begin – on the closed-off section of pass road, which has just as many curves and bends as the railway itself – but at terrific speed and with far more flurries of snow.

If you fancy something steeper for a change: the «Lauberhorn of sledging runs» from Darlux to Bergün promises just as much sledging fun for those who are brave enough. Darlux can be reached easily by chairlift.

Schneeschloss (snow castle) Preda - Bergün

The 97 castles and palaces in the Swiss canton of Graubünden are getting some extra support this winter: you will find Switzerland's first snow castle on rails at Albula Viaduct 1 on the Preda–Bergün sledging trail from the end of December 2019 to the start of March 2020. The sensational attraction will be lit up at night and invite sledging enthusiasts of all ages to enjoy some punch, mulled wine, snacks or fondue. What are you waiting for? Pack up your sledge and get going – and stop off half way at the new snow castle.

Two sledging runs – 10 km of sledging fun

Trať světovým dědictvím UNESCO Albula/Bernina

Co se týče stavitelské techniky a vedení trati, je dráha přes oblasti Albula a Bernina mistrovským dílem. Krajina a železnice splývají v jedno: v širokých zatáčkách, rafinovaných stavbách vedoucích strmými údolími. Svědky doby pionýrů železnice jsou viadukt Landwasser, točité tunely mezi stanicemi Bergün a Preda nebo kruhový viadukt u Brusia.
