The creation of the Landwasser World

Railway culture meets cultural landscape

The Landwasser World lies at the heart of the Swiss canton of Graubünden, between the villages of Alvaneu, Schmitten, Filisur, Bergün and Davos Wiesen, characterised by water and the UNESCO World Heritage site. An adventure, natural and business world around the Landwasser Viaduct, the landmark of Graubünden.

The Landwasser World encompasses a multitude of experiences – and relies on existing elements that are optimised and new elements that are gradually integrated. In the five Adventure Worlds – Railway, Culture, Agriculture, Forest and Water – visitors can experience the diversity of the Alpine region and the more than 120 years of railway history. The cultural heritage of the Rhaetian Railway with its «UNESCO World Heritage» quality label is combined with the surrounding cultural landscape with the «Naturparc Ela» quality label.

The Landwasser World is operated sustainably, i.e. on the basis of a balance of interests between economic performance, social consensus and environmental and cultural (railway heritage/RhB World Heritage) responsibility. The new adventure space is supported by an association of investors, destinations, municipalities and partner companies from the region, combining railway culture and cultural landscape in a unique way.
