Understand

Get in

By train

The 🌍 railway station of Scuol-Tarasp is at the end of two lines of the Rhaetian Railway and as such all trains end here. There are two hourly trains:

  • R train from Pontresina (1h 20min) via Samedan (1h 10min). This train runs along the Engadin valley.
  • RE train from Disentis (3h 30min) via Chur (2h) and Klosters (40min). This train travels through the Vereina tunnel and comes all the way from the Surselva. This will be the train you want to take if you come from Zurich or most other places in Switzerland. Note that at night the trains don't travel the whole route.

gollark: Yes.
gollark: This is also a great reason to learn maths, since old things like calculus, logarithms and (some?) trigonometry were not things for much of history, so you could wow the people of the past (if you time travel there) with such concepts (if you ever manage to explain it to them).
gollark: When I was doing music (it was required in year 7/8) it was rather heavy on theory and not so much on creative pursuits.
gollark: Besides, the other options were things like "drama" and "music" and "design and technology", and who wants to do those?↓ the person below is attempting to deceive us into believing that music is a subject people do; do not believe their lies
gollark: If I ever end up being transported back in time by several thousand years, I'll have a minor advantage if I can actually remember anything, happen to end up in the appropriate era for the particular dialects covered, and do not horribly butcher the pronunciation, see.
