Brusio Spiral Viaduct
The Brusio Spiral Viaduct is a remarkable feat of engineering on the Bernina railway in southern Switzerland. This single-track, nine-arched stone structure forms a full loop that allows trains to manage the steep alpine gradient while creating one of the most photogenic railway scenes in the world. Photographers can capture dramatic shots of the red Bernina Express curving gracefully across the viaduct, set against a backdrop of mountains, fields, and villages. The site is accessible by road or train, with several nearby paths and viewpoints offering clear vantage points for wide landscapes and detailed compositions. Remember this is an active rail line so photographers need be aware their surroundings while shooting. (Brusio, Graubünden, Switzerland)
