Not only the Glacier Express, but also the trains of the Rhaetian Railway from Thusis to St. Moritz run on the Albula line. It is a technical masterpiece and was opened in 1903 after only five years of construction. It has been on the Unesco World Heritage List since 2008, as the dramatic railway line through tunnels and over viaducts remains unique. The second section of the Glacier Express from Chur through the Surselva over the Oberalp Pass to Andermatt also offers travellers many sights. Along the route, which is shared by the Rhaetian Railway and the Matterhorn-Gotthard Railway, highlights such as the Rhine Gorge, the Disentis Monastery, the lighthouse at the top of the pass and the Urseren Valley can be admired.
