Tiefencastel is on the Rhaetian Railway Albula line, about 60 minutes from Chur. The station sits at the junction of the Albula and Julia valleys, where the roads to Julier Pass and Albula Pass diverge.

Rhaetian Railway trains on the Chur-St. Moritz line stop at Tiefencastel. PostBus connections from the station serve the Julier Pass route and the Savognin ski area.

Tiefencastel station has basic facilities. The village is small but sits at an important geographical junction. A few restaurants and a shop serve the community.

Tiefencastel sits at the meeting of two valleys, creating a dramatic landscape. The Solis Viaduct, one of the highest on the Albula line at 89 metres, is nearby. The village's name (Deep Castle) refers to its position at the bottom of a gorge. The Julier Pass road to St. Moritz starts here.

The Solis Viaduct is one of the most impressive bridges on the Rhaetian Railway, spanning the Albula gorge at a height of 89 metres. Built in 1902, the stone arch bridge is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Albula line. Trains crossing it offer dramatic views into the deep gorge below.
