Nostalgic Train (Nostalgiezug), also known as the Crocodile Train, runs between Davos Platz and Filisur. Pulled by a crocodile-type locomotive, it takes you back in time aboard vintage carriages. The journey takes under 40 minutes, crossing the Zügen Gorge and the famous Wiesner Viaduct.

The train offers three carriage styles. The actual train composition depends on daily operations, and not every type is guaranteed on every departure.

Notes

• The Nostalgic Train is a separate service between Davos and Filisur and is not included in the Bernina Express reservation. 
• A separate ticket is required. It runs from May to October, with two departures per day in each direction. 
• Train composition may vary by day. Please contact our travel consultants for help planning your trip.
