Exhibition UNESCO World Heritage

The Albula and Bernina lines connect the wildly romantic Albulatal valley in the north to the lush vineyards of Tirano in the south via the Bernina mountain section, which consists of more than 122 kilometres of track, with 55 Tunnels and 196 bridges. Since 2008, the Albula and Bernina lines have been on the UNESCO list of World Heritage sites. The exhibition in the station at St. Moritz uses images, documentary films and scale models to reflect the monumental quality of this pioneering example of railway engineering.

The exhibition in the station at St. Moritz.

Large-scale projected images are used to show the highlights of the Albula and Bernina lines, while taking visitors on an impressive virtual trip through the railway’s different "climate zones". Finally, a set of two contour models of the line is used to show what a great feat of engineering is involved in making a railway line tackle such a difference in altitude.


St. Moritz is both the terminus of the Albula railway and the point of departure for the trips over the Bernina Pass that form part of the celebrations marking the hundredth anniversary of the RhB’s Bernina Line.
