Home to incredible scenery, innovative engineering and the ‘slowest express service in the world’. Following the formation of the Rhaetian Railway (RhB) in 1890, plans were put into effect which would increase the somewhat lacking number of railway lines in south -east Switzerland. Multiple proposals were put forward for the new line’s route with the eventual result settling on a pass through the Albula Valley to connect Thusis and St. Moritz. Thanks to the undulating nature of the Albula Valley, the line needed to ascend over 1 km in the distance between the two towns; as a result the railway featured multiple hairpin loops, spiraling tunnels and numerous viaducts to achieve the climb at a rate of 3.5%, without the need for a rack - and-pinion railway. Construction of the new line was completed in as little as 5 years and services began to operate regularly almost immediately. Despite this however, the opening of St. Moritz was delayed by about a year as there was an ongoing dispute on the stations’ location. The line was initially built as a single track, metre gauge, steam railway with passing loops at each of the stations along the route. In more modern times, the number of passing loops and the length of them also has been increased to ensure smoother running throughout. The line remained without wires until 1919 when a shortage of coal following World War I prompted the start of electrification. Aside from the stunning scenery offered by the surrounding mountains at every turn, the centrepiece of the line is considered to be the Albula Tunnel. Stretching over 5.8 km u nder the Rhine and Danube watershed, the Albula Tunnel is the second highest tunnel in Switzerland at 1820m above sea level and passes under almost 1 km of towering mountains above. It was one of the most difficult aspects of the line to construct, with leaky tunnel walls and near-freezing conditions bringing progress to a stand for quite some time. Today, the Albula Line is known worldwide as one of the most picturesque routes there is. Its tracks see regular passage of the famed Glacier Express, complete with modern, panoramic coaches to give passengers a full frontal view into the Albula Valley. With such sharp turns and steep gradients, the Glacier Express traverses the line at an average of 39 km/h, making it amongst the slowest, yet most beautiful in the world. The unbeatable nature and technological marvel of the Albula Railway has earned it ever-lasting railfan fame and UNESCO World Heritage status. © Copyright Thomson Interactive Ltd, all rights reserved Release Version 2.0 Page 3 Train Simulator 2016 – Albula Line 1.2 Route Map 1.3 Route Features All new metre gauge track system with 3D sleepers, animated junction levers and illuminated indicators covering the 65km line.

  • UNESCO World Heritage Properties in Switzerland February 2021
    UNESCO World Heritage properties in Switzerland February 2021 www.whes.ch Welcome Dear journalists, Thank you for taking an interest in Switzerland’s World Heritage proper- ties. Indeed, these natural and cultural assets have plenty to offer: en- chanting cityscapes, unique landscapes, historic legacies and hidden treasures. Much of this heritage was left to us by our ancestors, but nature has also played its part in making the World Heritage properties an endless source of amazement. There are three natural and nine cultur- al assets in total – and as unique as each site is, they all have one thing in common: the universal value that we share with the global community. “World Heritage Experience Switzerland” (WHES) is the umbrella organisation for the tourist network of UNESCO World Heritage properties in Switzerland. We see ourselves as a driving force for a more profound and responsible form of tourism based on respect and appreciation. In this respect we aim to create added value: for visitors in the form of sustainable experiences and for the World Heritage properties in terms of their preservation and appreciation by future generations. The enclosed documentation will offer you the broadest possible insight into the diversity and unique- ness of UNESCO World Heritage. If you have any questions or suggestions, you can contact us at any time. Best regards Kaspar Schürch Managing Director WHES [email protected] Tel. +41 (0)31 544 31 17 More information: www.whes.ch Page 2 Table of contents World Heritage in Switzerland 4 Overview
