Crossing the Alps Switz­er­land — Feu­er und Eis Tou­ris­tik — Expe­ri­ence natu­re actively

Fol­low the rou­te of the Albu­la and Ber­ni­na Rail­way and expe­ri­ence this UNESCO World Heri­ta­ge Site at your own pace. From Thu­sis, the rou­te leads via St. Moritz to Tira­no on the Ita­li­an bor­der. Seve­ral via­ducts mark the rou­te, making the hike exci­ting not only for rail­road fans.

The Via Splu­ga, one of the most famous long-distance hiking trails in the Alps, runs from the same start­ing point but in a com­ple­te­ly dif­fe­rent direc­tion — and has done so for over two thousand years! The Romans alre­a­dy used this direct north-south con­nec­tion and their traces are still visi­ble today.

The Gott­hard Pass is also stee­ped in histo­ry. Form­er­ly an important trade rou­te, today the main traf­fic takes place in the val­ley and in tun­nels. High up on the moun­tain, tran­quil­li­ty has retur­ned, allo­wing for an enjoya­ble hike in a varied land­scape, through legen­da­ry should­ers and with spec­ta­cu­lar views.
