The Arosa Railway begins its run, leisurely at first, in the town of Chur, rolling gently past the mediaeval old town and its 800-year-old cathedral. It then begins to snake up the ancient valley of Schanfigg, with its picturesque country villages and strange, primitive rock formations. The line then continues over the Langwieser Viaduct, which is 280 metres long and 60 metres high over the River Plessur. This is when the train starts it's weaving climb through the forest to then reach the openness of the Arosa Bowl.
