Wiesen Viaduct

The Wiesen Viaduct spans 204 meters across the Landwasser River, rising 88 meters high with seven distinct arches and stone block construction.

Engineer Henning Friedrich designed this transportation link in 1906, leading to its completion and integration into the Davos-Filisur railway line by 1909.

The bridge holds class B status as a Swiss cultural property, representing early 20th-century engineering achievements in the canton of Grisons.

The single-track railway viaduct accommodates 29 trains daily, connecting passengers between Davos and Filisur through the mountain landscape.

Richard Coray used 500 cubic meters of wood to create the temporary framework during the construction phase, costing 324,000 Swiss francs.
