Ever since July 2008 the "Rhaetian Railway in the Albula/Bernina Landscape" has been included in the list of UNESCO World Heritage sites. The world heritage convention considers it important that the values of the UNESCO World Heritage are widely communicated. With this in mind, a number of online and offline projects have been implemented since the inclusion in the world heritage list.
The Rhaetian Railway is very well equipped to illustrate topics such as transportation history, railway technology, railway construction, railway culture and the interaction of the mountain railway in conjunction with nature, culture and the economy in a mountainous region. The Rhaetian Railway has prepared this and other topics in the context of the railway and UNESCO World Heritage route especially for teachers.
