Rhaetian Railway in the Albula / Bernina Landscapes
UNESCO site
Date of Insscription:
2008
The Rhaetian Railway in the
Albula/Bernina Landscapes represents an exemplary railway development for the
disenclavement of the Central Alps at the beginning of the 20th century. The railway’s
socio-economic consequences were substantial and lasting for mountain life, the
interchange of human and cultural values, and changes in the relationship
between man and nature in the West. The Rhaetian Railway offers a wide
diversity of technical solutions for the establishment of the railway in often
severe mountain conditions. It is a well designed construction that has been
realised with a high degree of quality and it has remarkable stylistic and
architectural homogeneity. The railway infrastructure moreover blends in
particularly harmoniously with the Alpine landscapes through which it passes..
