ALBULA PASS

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 513 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: AJA-ALL
ALBULA PASS , now the
principal
  route from the N. to the Upper Engadine in the Swiss
canton
  of the
Grisons
 . It was already frequented in the 13th
century
 , while a
carriage
  road (highest point, 7595 ft.) was constructed across it in i865, but for a
long
  time it was not as much used as the easier and more direct Julier Pass (7504 ft.), until the opening of the railway in 1903, which has vastly increased its
practical
  importance. Starting from
Coire
  the Rhine valley is followed to
Reichenau
  (64 m.), and then that of the Hinter Rhine to Thusis (102 m.). The line then runs through the grand Schyn gorge (cut by the Albula torrent) to Tiefenkastell (74 m.), where it leaves the Julier road on the right
I. 17-ALBUMIN 513
(S.) and continues to follow the course of the Albula Rast Filisut and Bergun (121 m.) to the mouth (5879 ft.) of the
great
  tunnel (34 M. in length; highest point, 5987 ft.) which has been pierced below the pass. The descent lies through the Bevers glen to Bevers (21 m.), where the Upper Engadine is reached, about 5 M. below St. Moritz, which is 56 m. from
Coire
  by this route. (W. A. B. C.)
