Mission and vision
For Graubünden and visitors from all over the world
We move Graubünden and fascinate customers from all over the world. As an attractive Alpine railway, we focus on innovation, sustainability and efficiency. With our Strategy 2030, we are actively shaping the future of public transport and strengthening tourism in the Swiss canton of Graubünden.
Sustainability
Responsibility for generations
We rely on 100% hydropower, reduce emissions and invest in innovative energy-saving projects. For us, however, sustainability means more than just ecology: we assume social responsibility, pay attention to fair procurement and ensure safe working conditions. After all, true mobility only works when nature, people and the economy are in balance.
History
Providing a fascinatingly different way to travel since 1889
The history of the Rhaetian Railway is a piece of Graubünden identity – and a chapter full of pioneering spirit. What began in 1889 with the first line from Landquart to Klosters is now a 385-kilometre network in the middle of the Alps. Over the decades, masterpieces such as the Albula Tunnel and the world-famous Landwasser Viaduct have been created. Our roots shape us and form the foundation for the future.
Organisation
Together for a strong RhB
Rhaetian Railway is backed by people who take responsibility every day – from strategic management to smooth operations. The Board of Directors sets the course with foresight, the Management Board provides impetus for the future and the business units ensure that trains, infrastructure and services function reliably.
Legal form and shareholders
Rooted in the region
Rhaetian Railway Inc is constituted as a joint stock company under private law – with strong public owners. The canton of Graubünden and the Swiss Confederation together hold more than 90 per cent of the shares, thereby ensuring the long-term development of RhB in the interests of the region. At the same time, investments by municipalities and private shareholders enable broad-based support. Transparency and clear rules form the basis of what we do.
