Enjoyment on rails: our journey with the Gourmino from Chur to St. Moritz

A train journey through the Grisons Alps can be much more than just a means of transportation – it can be a culinary experience. This is exactly what the Gourmino dining car of the Rhaetian Railway offers: a rolling place of enjoyment that travels along the spectacular Albula line from Chur to St. Moritz.

We experienced the route from Chur to St. Moritz ourselves – and were thrilled from the very first moment. No sooner had we taken our seats in the Gourmino than it felt as if we had booked a little trip back in time: a luxurious dining car, subdued lighting, lots of wood and that unmistakable touch of Orient Express nostalgia.

While the spectacular Albula line with its viaducts, spiral tunnels, and deep mountain valleys glided by outside, we enjoyed a relaxed, almost decelerated atmosphere inside. The Swiss mountain landscape in all its grandeur – combined with the finest cuisine. Freshly prepared dishes made from regional products, lovingly arranged and accompanied by attentive, stylish service, made this trip much more than just a train journey.

Nostalgia meets Alpine cuisine at Gourmino

The Gourmino achieves something rare: it combines landscape, enjoyment, and design into a harmonious overall experience. You look out of the window, let yourself be carried away by the rhythm of the train, and suddenly realize how well this combination works – a luxurious dining car, alpine nature, and authentic Graubünden cuisine. This is pleasure travel in its most beautiful form.

A special experience for your event

A real tip for anyone looking for something out of the ordinary: you can also hire the Gourmino dining car exclusively as a charter car for your event – ideal for company celebrations, anniversaries, or private parties with a special character.

The charter car can be used on the following routes:

• Arosa line: Chur – Arosa – Chur
• Albula line: Chur – Thusis – St. Moritz – Thusis – Chur

In addition, the Gourmino can also be booked at a standstill at Chur or St. Moritz stations – perfect for events with a nostalgic atmosphere, without any travel involved.

Our trip on the Gourmino was an experience for all the senses. Anyone who loves the Swiss mountains, appreciates good food and is looking for nostalgia with a touch of luxury should not miss this trip. The Gourmino is no ordinary dining car – it is a rolling moment of pleasure that you will not soon forget.
