#Goms ! DYK the founder of the #Ritz hotel is from the area. So the audioguide told me.

Investigated the bathroom while in the #Furka Tunnel. Nice sink 😅

It's a loooong tunnel.

#Chur, capital of #GraubĂŒnden #Grisons. Many people getting off. We're making a U turn back to #Reichenau-Tamins before diverging to St. Moritz.

On this occasion I discover the partnership between #RhÀtischeBahn and the Japanese Hakone Tozan railway.

#Reichenau-#Tamins where the Rhines become THE #Rhine #Rhein.

Below us the track we came from. Now turning upside toward #Tiefencastel

Yesssss ... Best #Bogentröt so far. #GlacierExpress

#Tiefencastel - tunnels are a good occasion to picture the interior of the train which is truly upscale.

At #Preda we leave the #Albula valley behind us, entering the tunnel that will link us with #Engadin.

#SanktMoritz terminus! I need to do some research to understand why this town was named after me so many years before I was born. Truly visionary. Hope you enjoyed the ride on the #GlacierExpress.

@Moritz_Kleine merci pour le partage 😊

@Moritz_Kleine Isn't Via Mala a specific other gorge (without a railway, but with a gorgeous walking path on the old road)?
