The "Trambänkli" (Tram Shelter for waiting passengers) has served passengers for over 100 years – even if at the present time it is for bus passengers. The St. Moritz tramway was one of the first electric trams in Switzerland. In order to provide a more comfortable means of travel for spa guests between St. Moritz Bad and St. Moritz Dorf, the construction of an electric tramway was commenced in October 1894, and was subsequently opened on 5th July 1896. The tram operation was discontinued on 15th September 1932 and replaced by bus transportation.
