Albula Pass (el. 2315 m) is a Swiss mountain pass in the canton of Graubünden. It lies in the Albula Range of the Alps. The road from Thusis through Bergün leads to La Punt in the Inn Valley (Engadin).
The Albula Pass, constructed in 1865, was at that time the most important north-south connection in Graubünden. Nowadays most of the traffic from Chur to Sankt Moritz uses the Julier Pass, which is a blessing for cyclists who prefer the more attractive Albula Pass. For the communities in the Albula valley the economic decline caused by the opening of the Julier Pass was compensated by the completion of the Albula Bahn in 1903.
The Albula Bahn is a unique masterpiece of railway engineering. The 1000 mm narrow gauge track climbs from Tiefencastel (887m), via Bergün (1372 m) to Preda (1788 m), where it enters an almost 6 km long tunnel towards Samedan and St. Moritz. Especially the section from Bergün to Preda is spectacular, with its four loop tunnels and four viaducts that cross the Albula valley.
