The Via Albula/Bernina is truly unique – a hiking route that criss-crosses the railway line. It lets you explore the Albula/Bernina UNESCO World Heritage route on foot in ten stages. And if your legs get tired, you can hop aboard an RhB train at any time.
Tackle the 131 kilometres of the UNESCO World Heritage route in any combination of ten stages. The long-distance hiking trail follows the Albula and Bernina lines from North to South or vice versa – passing through three language regions and cultures – and allows you to take a close-up look at bridges, viaducts, helical tunnels and old railway stations. The World Heritage RhB app and the Via Albula/Bernina hiking guide show you the way and will add a touch of spice to your hike with riveting information from the early days of railway engineering.
Choose one of our hiking packages: a 3-day hike on the Albula or Bernina trail, or a 5-day hike combining Albula and Bernina. Our specialists will organise your accommodation and transport of luggage between hotels. And with the railway pass included, you can hop on board whenever you feel like it.

Lai da Palpuogna, "the most beautiful place in Switzerland", is just one of the many highlights on the Via Albula/Bernina.
알불라(Albula)와 베르니나(Bernina)를 관통하는 노선은 건축 기술과 노선의 형상에 있어 최고의 걸작입니다. 풍경과 철도가 서로 화합을 이룹니다. 철도는 확장되는 반원형으로 섬세한 부대 구축물을 지나 험준한 협곡을 통과합니다. 란트바써 고가교(Landwasserviadukt), 베르귄(Bergün)과 프레다(Preda) 사이의 환상(環狀)터널, 혹은 브루지오 나선 고가교(Kreisviadukt Brusio)는 시간이 증명해준 철도 선구자입니다.
In 2007, the Swiss voted the Lai da Palpuogna as «the most beautiful place in Switzerland». From Preda, the mountain lake can be reached on foot within an hour. Gaze deep into the water and be mesmerized by the subtle gradations of colour. The majestic peaks of Piz Ela and Piz Rugnux are reflected in the clear mountain water. Fire pits are ready and waiting for a BBQ in summer.
This hike takes you through the mighty mountain landscape of the Bernina Range up onto the 'rooftop' of the Rhaetian Railway. The Ospizio Bernina is situated at 2,253 metres above sea level. You can grab a refreshing coffee or tea in the freshly renovated Albergo bistro at the summit. In the distance you can see melt waters flowing down into the valley, adding a touch of colour: white for Lago Bianco, black for Lej Nair. Welcome to the Bernina watershed.
During the Ice Age some 11,000 years ago, the Palü Glacier formed a glacial hollow here. The glacier mills at Caviglia are ten metres deep and five metres wide. The ice has left behind a fascinating landscape full of natural sculptures, which can now be reached directly by rail. Experts will guide you round, providing fascinating details.
The picturesque village of Poschiavo is dominated by three towers: the Romanesque tower of the Catholic Church, the Baroque tower of the Reformed Church and the medieval tower of the town hall. The landlords of the typical Graubünden restaurants in the village take pride in their delicious Pizzoccheri. A glass of Veltliner will also stand you in good stead. Viva!
