The UNESCO-listed Albula line runs from St. Moritz through spiral tunnels and over the curved Landwasser Viaduct to Chur in about two hours, with hourly departures. It is one of the most scenic regular railways in the Alps. At Chur you connect with fast trains to Zurich, and the old town of Switzerland's oldest city is a short walk from the station.
Children, luggage and groups on the St. Moritz to Chur train
Three things people worry about on the train from St. Moritz to Chur and need not: children, bags and groups. Children get their own fare band and a seat next to you; suitcases go on the racks free of charge; groups sit together in reserved blocks. Put the numbers on the form and we handle the rest - including a transfer with enough room for everyone at each end.
Things to do in Chur after the train
Chur is the capital of Graubünden and one of the oldest towns in Switzerland, with a compact old town and rail links to St. Moritz, Davos and the Bernina line. Arriving by train puts you in the middle of it: Chur Cathedral, Brambrüesch cable car, Rhine valley and Chur Old Town are all reachable from the station by public transport or a quick taxi.
We offer tours and transfers in Chur as well as the train ticket - one conversation, one plan for the whole trip.
Best time to take the train from St. Moritz to Chur
For the train itself, spring and autumn bring the best mix of availability and fares; summer and holiday periods sell out earliest, so book the St. Moritz to Chur train as soon as your dates are fixed. Winter services run normally, with occasional weather delays on mountainous or coastal stretches.
Train, plane or bus from St. Moritz to Chur?
Weighing a flight against the train from St. Moritz to Chur? Add the time to the airport, check-in, security and the trip in from the arrival airport, and the train is usually as fast door to door and far less tiring - about 2 hours on board. The bus is the budget option, worth it for some passengers, slower for all. We book whichever suits you; on this route the train is our first recommendation.
Return train from Chur to St. Moritz
We book the return leg from Chur to St. Moritz just as easily, and normally on the same confirmation. Booking both directions together lets us compare a return fare against two singles and choose the cheaper combination for your dates. Let us know the day you want to come back on the form and we send both directions with the cost.
How much does the train from St. Moritz to Chur cost?
The cost of the train from St. Moritz to Chur is not one number: it changes with the date, the departure time, the class and how far ahead the ticket is booked. Rhaetian Railway prices the seats in tiers, so an early booking on a quiet mid-week departure and a last-minute ticket on a Friday evening can be very different fares for the same train. That is why Haqqi Tours does not print a price on this page: we verify the live fares for your exact date and send you the real cost by WhatsApp, with the options side by side.
What we do include in the price we send: the ticket itself in the class you chose, the seat reservation where the railway requires one, and our service - checking the timetable, booking, sending the electronic ticket and answering questions before and during the journey. There are no hidden extras added at the end.
Cheapest train ticket from St. Moritz to Chur: how to pay less
The cheapest train ticket from St. Moritz to Chur is almost always the one booked earliest for an off-peak departure. Our staff applies the same rules on every booking:
- Choose a fixed-departure ticket if your plans are certain; flexible tickets cost more
- For families and groups, ask about group fares - four or more travellers often unlock a lower rate
- Book early - fares on this route open weeks or months ahead and the lowest tiers sell first
- Travel mid-week and mid-day - Tuesday to Thursday departures after the morning rush are generally the cheapest
- Avoid the first and last trains of the day, which carry commuters and business passengers at higher fares
- Tell us if your dates are flexible - moving by a day, or by an hour, often halves the fare
We are happy to be asked "what is the cheapest way to get from St. Moritz to Chur by train?" - it is a question we answer many times a day, and the answer for your date comes back through WhatsApp.
How to book train tickets from St. Moritz to Chur with Haqqi Tours
Booking a train from St. Moritz to Chur with us takes a few minutes and one conversation. Fill in the short form on this page with your travel date, whether you want a one-way or a return, how many adults and children are travelling and the class you prefer. Our staff then messages you in the WhatsApp chat to check your booking: we confirm the departures available on that day, the seats and the cost. You choose, we book, and the e-ticket arrives in the same chat, ready to show on your phone or print.
- Step 1 - complete the form: date, one-way or return, adults and children, class
- Step 2 - we message you on WhatsApp with the available departures, the seats and the cost
- Step 3 - you confirm the departure you prefer and we arrange payment in the same chat
- Step 4 - we issue the e-ticket and send it to you; we stay in touch until you arrive in Chur
Because a person books the ticket, not a machine, we can do the things a booking site cannot: hold seats together for a family, pick the coach nearest the luggage racks, choose a quiet carriage, or line up the St. Moritz to Chur train with a transfer from your hotel to the station and another from the arrival station to your accommodation in Chur.
Timetable of the St. Moritz to Chur train
Departures on the St. Moritz to Chur line are spread across the day (about every hour), all operated by Rhaetian Railway. Allow about 2 hours on board, and remember that as a direct train there is no connection to miss. Let us know on the form whether you prefer morning, midday or evening and we send the exact times for your travel date.
Our advice for the timetable: choose the departure that fits your day in Chur, not the cheapest one blindly - though we tell you both. A train that arrives at the station in the early afternoon gives you the evening in Chur; a late one lands you after dinner.
Is there a direct train from St. Moritz to Chur?
There is a direct train from St. Moritz to Chur operated by Rhaetian Railway, and it is the one we book unless you ask for something different. One ticket covers the whole journey; you keep your seat from St. Moritz to Chur; children and luggage stay in one place. It runs about every hour.
Departure: the station in St. Moritz
The train from St. Moritz to Chur leaves from the main station in St. Moritz, in St. Moritz - st. Moritz is an elegant resort above a lake in the Upper Engadin, the starting point of the Bernina Express and the Glacier Express, with sunny ski slopes and mountain viewpoints. Plan to be at the station about 20 to 30 minutes before departure: enough to find the platform on the boards, pass any ticket gate or security check the station uses, and board without hurrying. Getting there: Trains from Zurich reach St. Moritz in about 3 h 15 with a change in Chur, and the Bernina Express and Glacier Express start at St. Moritz station; Engadin buses link the valley villages. A private car is the easiest choice with luggage, skis or a late flight, and the only direct option from Milan Malpensa.
- Arrive 20-30 minutes early; the platform is shown on the boards shortly before departure
- Keep the electronic ticket on your phone and the ID used for booking together - some operators check both
- Luggage travels with you: racks at the coach ends and above the seats, no weighing, no fees
- Cafés, kiosks and left-luggage are available at the station for early arrivals
Arrival: the station in Chur
You step off at the arrival station in Chur, right in the city. Metro, tram or bus and taxis leave from the station forecourt. If you would rather not think about it, we book a driver to meet you off the train and take you to the door of your hotel.
Onward journeys from Chur - a connecting train, a ferry or a flight the same day - can be added to the booking; tell us and we time the St. Moritz to Chur train to fit.
Classes and what it is like on board the St. Moritz to Chur train
What is the train from St. Moritz to Chur like inside? Modern coaches with reserved seats, tables for two or four, racks for suitcases, sockets and typically Wi-Fi of varying quality. In second class and first class the differences are space and quiet more than anything else. Over about 2 hours the extra comfort of the higher class is worth it for some travellers and not for others; we tell you the cost of both and let you choose.
- Pets are allowed on many services with a small ticket - let us know if one is travelling
- Reserved seats with tables, power sockets and luggage racks
- Toilets in every coach; a café or bar coach on most long-distance services
- Wi-Fi on many trains on this route - useful for work, not reliable for streaming

How early should I be at the station?
Twenty to thirty minutes is enough for a domestic or European departure; a little more if the station has a ticket gate or security check, which we tell you about. Doors close a minute or two before the timetabled time.
Can I bring a pet?

What happens if I miss the train?
A fixed-departure ticket is only valid on the train you booked; a flexible one can be used on a later departure. We tell you which type you hold before payment, and if something goes wrong on the day our WhatsApp desk helps you sort it out.
Can Haqqi Tours arrange a transfer to and from the stations?
Yes - a private car from your accommodation to the departure station and another from the arrival station to your hotel in Chur, with room for everyone's luggage, can be added to the ticket confirmation.

Can I book the St. Moritz to Chur train for a group?
Yes. Give the number of passengers on the form; we reserve seats together and ask the railway for a group fare where one exists, which often makes the train the cheapest way to move a group.
