Time Travel Through Graubünden

4-day Bernina Express and nostalgic 1920s train trip through historic Swiss hotels

Illustration of Time Travel Through Graubünden

Time Travel Through Graubunden is a 4-day rail trip from Switzerland Travel Centre built around two distinct train rides and three historic hotel stays. After an overnight in Chur, described in the evidence as the oldest town in Switzerland, travelers ride the Bernina Express to Poschiavo along the UNESCO-listed Rhaetian Railway. The next day continues on a nostalgic train made from original 1920s Rhaetian Railway carriages, traveling via Filisur, home to the Albula Railway Museum, to Davos. Each night is spent in a different Swiss Historic Hotel, from the Stern in Chur to the Albrici in Poschiavo and the Berghotel Schatzalp in Davos. With just one night in each town, the pace moves quickly. This short trip suits travelers drawn to Switzerland's rail heritage and historic hotels rather than a longer stay in any single place.
