The longest hiking film in the world
Now everyone can experience the most spectacular hike in Switzerland from their living rooms in HD quality. Hiking fans around the world can "wander" through the ten legs of the Albula/Bernina trail in real time in a 36-hour film at http://www.webwandern.ch. Hundreds of hotspots along the Rhaetian Railway (RhB) UNESCO World Heritage Site route present interesting facts about the sights and locations.

The 131km hike along the Albula/Bernina route primarily follows this UNESCO World Heritage Site. Hiking fans can experience high-Alpine, alpine and subtropical zones in a nature paradise in any way they please. 100 hotspots present everything you need to know about the sights and locations. The 65 metre-high Landwasser Viaduct is spectacular, as are the numerous mountain lakes such as the Crap Alv or the Lej Nair.

The Albula/Bernina hiking trails
The hikes along the Albula/Bernina route of the RhB UNESCO World Heritage Site are breathtaking.

You can share any point along the walk and all the hotspots via numerous social media channels. "The clear aim of this platform is to get hikers - and would-be hikers - excited about going out into the Albula/Bernina for real," says Martin Sturzenegger, RhB's Head of Sales and Marketing.
