landwasser viaduct印象

A 30 minute walk from the car park near the road bridge brings you to a view point at the base of the viaduct. From here you can truely appreciate the engineering of the bridge. There are a number of information boards along the path providing details in German and English about the history of the area.

I had previously seen the Landwasser Viaduct from the train, which was wonderful, but this time I got a different view on foot. There is a very easy trail from the Filisur train station that takes you to a viewing platform so you can observe trains crossing over the viaduct. I recommend timing this walk to when the train is scheduled to pass by. This walk was doable in winter with good footwear (boots and crampons). I understand there is another southern trail that let's you look up towards the viaduct but I had difficulty finding this trail due to the amount of snow in January.

Lovely walk to the Viaduct from the station. Can walk to all levels depending on how fit you feel at the time. Different sort of views of the Viaduct and trains at each level.

We first saw this bridge in 2010 when we took the local train from St Moritz to Chur, on the way to Salzburg. This rail link to Chur has many pieces of great engineering. In September 2013, we drove through the Albula Pass, starting from the Chur side (at Tienfencastel) driving, through Filisur, through Bergun (where you have to look out for the helical rail loops used to help climb the Albula Pass by rail) through the Albula Pass, down to St Moritz and back to ur base at Gandria (near Lugano) - another great day of Swiss Mountain Pass driving. Because we had previously, see some of the fantastic scenery from the train in 2010, after doing some research, I was on the look-out for the Landwasser Viaduct at Filisur. We saw it in the distance from the main road as we approach Filisur from the West. And then we drove up through Filisur to the top of the hill in search for a vantage point to see the Landwasser Viaduct. I did not get to to see the views that I was looking (because we had a big day trip) and we were running out of time. I believe I cam very close to a great vantage point near the top of the hill behind Filisur. I would loved to have had a bit more time to find the vantage point from where you can see the Landwasser Viaduct from near the hill-top. By looking via Google Earth, I can see that if we had walked down over the rail line from where we could glimpse Landwasser Viaduct the road on the hill top behind Filisur, we would have got to some of the good vantage points for Landwasser Viaduct.

The walk from Filisur to the Landwasser viaduct takes about half an hourSome parts are quite steep and one's eyes are kept busy taking in the unfolding vista, of mountains and valleysthe only downer was a distinct lack of snow close by, only the evidence of a heavy overnight frostThe viaduct itself looks like it has always been part of the landscape and you can set your watch by the trains crossing the viaduct each way every hour or soIt is hard to imagine how it was constructed in such wild and rugged country, with little more than pick and shovel and human ingenuity over 100 years agoWe did not try the path to the bottom of the viaduct as it was adorned with signs in German one of which read verboten, which we took to mean access forbiddenThe walk is relatively easy, but might be awkward to achieve if there was deep snow

A beautiful winters day and an easy walk through the forests to a viewpoint overlooking one of the most famous viaducts in the world!

Walks from Filisur to see it from below, above or even on the same level (follow the signs that say 'photo').

Of course you can park at the bridge which corses the river Albula at the end of the Golf course of Alvaneu Bad and then walk into the valley and look at the viaduct from its fundament. The bottom up view is very impressing. But then you can also walk up the steep hill on both sides of the bridge to one of the two view-points. The one south gives you a more open view and you see the trains coming from Alvaneu Bad. The northern outlook makes you experiencing how the trains are coming out of the tunnel or vanishing in it.The ones which like a bit of more walking and enjoying the scenerie of the Landwasser valley, the park at the Golf Club and walk the 'Wasserweg'. This will lead you along natural springs: normal ones, a sulfat one and a ferric spring. You will also see another viaduct, but less specacular, walk along a sprout farm and on the way back you walk through a mystic forrest where you might look out for elves. And of course you will see the fantastic piece of engineering and construction work.

It is great structure which was constructed in 1903 and only in year 2009 ie after 106 years, there was little renovation work done. Nearly 5000 people were participated during construction time in such a hard climatic conditions. Must visit for swiss travellers.

It is a rewarding hike to see the hourly passenger trains, with some freight train bonuses, cross the viaduct up and down the tracks of the beautiful Rhaetian railway.
