The Rhätische Railway (RhB)
The Rhätische Railway which has been
completely modernized during the past few
years, is the main rail thorough

dens
.
Its 394 kilometer long extensive track
layout, is the longest continuous narrow gauge
railway in Europe. It includes the most important
valleys, the Engadin and the landscapes of
Davos
,
Arosa and the Bündner uplands
.
The
main axis Chur- Thusis-Albula-Engadin

lead
further over the Bernina stretch into sunny Italy
,
from Veltlin to Tirano
.
The highlight of a trip on the
Albula line is the experience of the many spec

al
constructions:
over a distance of 12
.
6 km. the
track overcomes a difference in elevation of
416 meters
.
To achieve this
,
4 loop tunnels
,
4 tunnels, 7 viaducts and 2 galle ries were
necessary
