Swiss Railway Journeys - The RhB Vereina Line

Join us for an exploration of the Rhaetian railway's most recently opened route, the Vereina line, which connects the Engadine and Rhine valleys. This has been made possible by the excavation of the longest metre gauge tunnel in the world, and we join in the celebrations to mark this historic event.

We begin our journey at Scuol, where we make a leisurely stroll around the picturesque old village centre with its traditional architecture, before boarding the train to travel through the beautiful Engadine valley as far as the tunnel. We see the excavation of this bore at various stages including the breakthrough, before journeying through to emerge at the world-famous resort of Klosters.

A winter diversion to Davos allows us to experience the various sporting possibilities on offer in this noted region, before travelling through the sun and snow back to Klosters.

We change seasons again for a summer ride through the Prättigau, which gives us the opportunity to enjoy this wonderful region to the full as we pass through lush countryside with traditional wooden chalets and barns.

Journey's end is at Landquart, where we pay a visit to the Rhaetian railways depot. An experience not to be missed by all lovers of this most popular Swiss railway.
