Alpenrhein-Expresss

The modern trains between St. Gallen and Chur offer plenty of space and comfort - ideal for relaxed excursions with the family, as a couple or alone. Along the way, the Alpenrhein-Express passes through towns such as Altstätten, Buchs, Maienfeld and Bad Ragaz, which offer an inspiring wine culture, historic old towns and a wide range of leisure activities.

The route runs in the immediate vicinity of Liechtenstein and Austria - perfect for cross-border excursions. Between Lake Constance and the Grisons mountains, a varied landscape unfolds with river meadows, vineyards and imposing mountain panoramas.

Tourist highlights along the route

The highlights along the Alpenrhein-Express include picturesque Maienfeld - known as the home of Heidi and surrounded by sunny vineyards that invite you to take a leisurely stroll and enjoy a tasting.

A few kilometres further on, Bad Ragaz beckons with the elegant Tamina Therme spa, an extensive spa park and a wide range of activities for those seeking relaxation. The medieval town of Werdenberg near Buchs with its castle and lake is also an insider tip for culture vultures.
