About Filisur

Filisur is a station on the Rhaetian Railway (RhB) in the Albula district of the canton of Graubünden, positioned at one of the most dramatic points on the UNESCO World Heritage Albula Line at around 1,080 metres elevation. It is a junction station where the historic Davos Line branches off from the main Chur–St. Moritz route, serving trains that run to Davos Platz via Bergün and the famous Landwasser Viaduct immediately above the station. Rail enthusiasts visiting to photograph the spectacular 65-metre-high viaduct will find Filisur the perfect place to alight.

The Landwasser Viaduct is the most iconic railway bridge in Switzerland, carrying the Albula line 65 metres above the gorge before plunging directly into a tunnel in the cliff face. The UNESCO World Heritage viaduct is best photographed from the hiking trail below Filisur station.

Filisur is a small station with limited facilities. The village has a few restaurants and a small shop. Most visitors stop to photograph or hike to viewpoints of the Landwasser Viaduct rather than staying overnight.
