Footplate rides
Riding up-front
Buy VISA, Mastercard, Diners, JCB, Postfinance
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. You are in the front line instead of just being there – there's also a certificate and snapshots to remember the journey by.
Over 100 years ago, railway pioneers built the Landquart – Davos line, the Albula and Bernina Lines. Today, these 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.
You can now book footplate rides on the goods railway, on the Albula Line.
A lasting memory: At the end of the day, the RhB will present you with a commemorative certificate and photo.

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.
Professional guide
Making your day in the driver's cab a guaranteed success: an experienced engine driver will accompany you during this exclusive railway experience. You will hear stories and anecdotes about the Rhaetian Railway, learn about the Albula/Bernina landscape and its engineering structures.
