Brusio Spiral Viaduct
Kreisviadukt Brusio
The landmark 360-degree spiral stone viaduct on the southern section of the Bernina line. The train circles over the meadow to lose altitude, and it is an emblem of this World Heritage railway.
Built in 1908, the nine-arch stone viaduct and the curve around it form a complete circle, allowing the train to lose altitude over a short distance. It sits beside the village of Brusio in the Poschiavo Valley, about 36 km from St. Moritz. From the train, you can see the front and back of the train facing each other. For a panoramic photo, get off at Brusio station and walk about 10 minutes to the meadow beside the viaduct. The southern slopes are already Italian-speaking. At about 780 m above sea level, the climate is mild, suitable for grapevines and chestnut trees.
