Albula Railway Museum
Albula Railway Museum, Railway museum in Bergün/Bravuogn, Switzerland.
Description
The Albula Railway Museum sits next to Bergün railway station and contains over 600 objects about railway engineering and mountain construction. The collection includes locomotives, cars, tools, and technical equipment that show how this mountain line was built and operated.
History
The Albula Railway was built in 1904 to connect Chur with St. Moritz through steep mountain terrain and became a landmark of railway engineering. The museum, founded in 2012, preserves the story of this technical achievement and how it shaped the region.
Culture
The museum shows how railways transformed mountain communities in Graubünden, connecting isolated valleys and changing daily life. You can see old tickets, uniforms, and tools that document what working on the line was like.
Practical
Visit works best when you take time to explore the different exhibition areas and study the technical details carefully. Comfortable shoes are helpful since the museum includes outdoor areas with historic railway vehicles.
