Schmittentobel Viaduct

The Schmittentobel Viaduct spans 137 meters across a deep gorge, reaching a height of 35 meters with seven equal stone arches of 15 meters each.

The Rhaetian Railway opened this limestone railway viaduct in October 1902 to enhance transportation connections through the mountainous Grisons region of Switzerland.

This Swiss cultural property of national significance represents engineering advancement in bridge construction and stands as a testament to early 20th-century architecture.

Visitors can experience the viaduct while traveling on the Albula Railway line between Tiefencastel and Filisur, with regular train services throughout the day.

The viaduct incorporates local limestone in its construction, featuring seven precisely calculated spans that distribute weight evenly across the entire structure.
