Take a journey of discovery on Rhaetian Railway. Our canoe transport service allows you to transport your canoe safely and conveniently to your next adventure.
Important information
There are a few points to bear in mind to ensure safe canoe transport for all passengers:
bicycles, pushchairs and wheelchairs have priority and are transported before the boats.
Train staff may refuse to transport boats if there is not enough space.
Maximum quantities of boats refer to the empty train. In practice, space is usually tight with 5-10 boats. If possible, groups should be spread across all compartments with loading options.
