Meet your guide at Zurich HB. As you travel toward the Alps, rolling green hills, sparkling rivers, and traditional wooden farmhouses set the tone for the beauty that awaits. With each passing kilometer, the mountains rise higher, preparing you for a day filled with extraordinary alpine scenery.

Arriving in Chur, the oldest city in Switzerland, you continue the journey along the same railway corridor followed by the legendary Glacier Express. Traveling through the UNESCO-listed Albula Railway, you enjoy sweeping views of medieval castles, deep valleys, and the remarkable engineering masterpieces that make this route one of the most impressive mountain corridors in the world.

In Filisur, experience the breathtaking Landwasser Viaduct, the crown jewel of the Rhaetian Railway and one of Switzerland’s most photographed landmarks. This spectacular curved viaduct rises 65 meters above the gorge, crossing six majestic stone arches before disappearing dramatically into a tunnel carved directly into the cliffside. While riding the train, enjoy perfect panoramic views of this UNESCO-protected structure—an unforgettable moment that captures the engineering brilliance and natural beauty of the Albula region.

Continuing deeper into the Upper Engadine, the scenery shifts to wide, sun-drenched valleys surrounded by rugged peaks and shimmering glacier-fed lakes. Arriving in St. Moritz, one of the world’s most prestigious alpine resorts, you have free time to stroll along the pristine lake, enjoy the mountain air, or explore the elegant streets and boutiques that define this luxurious destination.

After exploring St. Moritz, relax on a beautiful return drive to Zurich, passing tranquil lakes, pine forests, and sweeping alpine landscapes. It’s the perfect closing chapter to a day filled with UNESCO marvels, panoramic viewpoints, and the very best of Switzerland’s high-alpine beauty.
