Footplate rides
Riding up-front
It's what every railway enthusiast dreams of: Journey beside the driver in the cab of an RhB locomotive through the Albula Valley or along the Bernina Line, the highest railway line in the Alps. Not only do you have a front-row seat – there's also a certificate and snapshots to remember the journey by.
Over 100 years ago, the railway pioneers built the Albula and Bernina lines through the impassable mountain terrain of the Swiss canton of Graubünden. Today, these two railway lines are still among the most spectacular experiences available on rails – not least thanks to the many attractions: the Solis and Landwasser Viaducts, helical tunnels between Bergün and Preda, Ospizio Bernina, Alp Grüm and the Brusio Circular Viaduct.
A lasting memory: At the end of the day, the RhB will present you with a commemorative certificate and photo.
Information Coronavirus
Among other things, the Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH) has issued ordinances for public transport in Switzerland. Regular public transport will continue to operate according to the timetable. Tourist traffic, extra trips and historic journeys will be discontinued. Group trips will be cancelled. Dining cars and catering services are also prohibited on the trains.
In implementation of these orders, the Rhaetian Railway (RhB) will cease operating the Bernina Express from Saturday 14 March 2020. The Glacier Express will also cease to operate from then on. These measures are expected to remain in force until 26 April 2020. The planned charter and adventure trips until 30 June 2020 will not take place.

The journey on the footplate is in itself the highlight of the day. And there are further highlights to follow such as the souvenir certificate.
Bernina Line
The Bernina Line between St. Moritz and Tirano links northern and southern Europe in a most impressive fashion. For over 100 years now it has been running past mountains, lakes and glaciers down to the palms of Valtellina. The famous panoramic route is a true landmark which has UNESCO World Heritage status.
