Morteratsch railway station

The Morteratsch Glacier lies some 3 km (1.9 mi) to the south of the station and can be reached by a marked hiking trail.

In the southbound direction the line passes over the Ova da Morteratsch on a railway bridge immediately after the station platform, and then over the Ova da Bernina on a viaduct some 200 m (660 ft) later.

[1][4] The Hotel-Restaurant Morteratsch, which adjoins the station to the north, predates the railway.

When it was built it was very close to the tongue of the glacier, which has since receded due to global warming, and benefited from significant tourist traffic.
