From mid-May to October, this vintage train operates daily, and is included with your Swiss Travel Pass.
The historic 1920s train runs twice daily between Davos and Filisur.
The 40-minute journey takes you through the dramatic Zügen Gorge and over the famous Wiesen Viaduct. Filisur is also home to the Landwasser Viaduct, one of the highlights of the Rhaetian Railway’s Albula Line, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The vintage coaches come in both 2nd class and 1st class:
- 2nd class: Wooden benches without cushions — just like in old photos
- 1st class: Classic compartment seating, reminiscent of the Harry Potter train vibe
Some carriages are over 100 years old, and there's even an open-air observation car.
The train is pulled by the legendary “Crocodile” locomotive (Ge 6/6 414/415).
Jakobshorn
From Davos Platz main station, take the Jakobshornbahn cable car to reach the summit of Jakobshorn. We recommend the nearby Jatzhorn hiking trail (Route 52), which is only 1.2 km away. This scenic ridge walk takes less than an hour one way, offering panoramic views along the entire route.
Parsenn
From Davos Platz main station, take the Parsennbahn funicular railway to reach the summit at Parsenn / Weissfluhjoch. We recommend a short hike to Parsennsee (Lake Parsenn). From the Weissfluhjoch summit station, follow the trail downhill toward Parsennsee, and continue on to the Mittelstation Höhenweg (mid-station of the funicular railway). The one-way hike takes about 1 hour and offers beautiful alpine scenery along the way.
