The Albula/Bernina hiking trails

The hikes along the Albula/Bernina route of the RhB UNESCO World Heritage Site are breathtaking. Hiking fans can “wander” through the 36-hour film of the Albula/Bernina route in real time and in HD quality at Web Wandern. You can share any point along the walk and all the hotspots via numerous social media channels. “The clear aim of this platform is to get hikers – and would-be hikers – excited about going out into the Albula/Bernina for real,” says Martin Sturzenegger, RhB’s Head of Sales and Marketing. The platform has been created by the Rhaetian Railway and Graubünden Tourism, and is part of the communication campaign under the graubünden regional brand.

Video

Below is a video demonstration and explanation of the website, albeit in Swiss German. The video promotes the historic peaks, healthy vegetation, lakes, valleys and man-made structures you can witness all while sitting with a cup of coffee next to you and your cat on your lap. Yet, the experience isn’t far removed from physically being there. Besides the smells and temperature, the sights and sounds are taken straight from the setting. Watch the demonstration to see how to use the website.
