The Rugnux Tunnel is the lowest circular loop tunnel of the Albula Railway on the Bergün-Preda section in the canton of Graubünden (Switzerland). It has a length of 662 meters. The three roundabout tunnels and four Albula viaducts (crossing the valley) allow the gain in height, whereby the principle of an adhesion track (static friction of the wheels) comes into play here.

Albula Viaduct I

Highlight • Bridge

The railway line through the Albula Valley is also known as the Albula Railway Carousel. The side of the valley is constantly changed in several spiral tunnels and viaducts. The viaducts on which the Albula is crossed do not have names. They are simply numbered. Viaduct number one is particularly spectacular because after a spiral tunnel the line reappears above.

A great hike with challenging sections, mainly along the Albula. Return by train, which changes sides of the valley four times, in loops, through tunnels.

According to Swisstopo, the ascent was 264, the descent was 621. Komoot's calculation is very inaccurate.
