This is the Rhaetian Railway as it should be experienced — not on a mass-market coach tour, but with a qualified Swiss geographer as your private guide, with time to actually hike to the Landwasser Viaduct, explore the Albula Museum, and understand the engineering that went into building this improbable railway. The Vereina Tunnel return adds a second dramatic dimension to the day.
