SwissActivities tip
Lai da Marmorera is worth a visit. Divers often come here in summer and autumn. The crystal-clear water offers ideal conditions for diving, and you can still see remnants of the village that was flooded. One popular dive site is near the Julier Bridge at the southern end of the lake; another is below the PostBus stop “Marmorera Dorf”.
Bikes
Want to take your bike on the PostBus? Check the following:
- Check the online timetable or app to see whether an R is shown alongside a bike symbol
- If it is, buy a reservation ticket for your bike as well as your own ticket
Wheelchair travel
- PostBuses are generally equipped to carry wheelchairs. The wheelchair-accessible door is marked with a corresponding symbol.
- The PostBus between Chur and St. Moritz has an integrated wheelchair lift operated by the driver (no advance notice needed). This is shown as HL in the SBB timetable.
Travelling with a dog
- Small dogs up to 30 cm travel free if they stay in a carrier for the entire journey. The carrier must fit under your seat.
- Dogs without a carrier, and all dogs measuring 30 cm or more at the shoulder, need a valid dog ticket: half the 2nd-class fare or the minimum fare (Dog Day Pass or Dog Pass). They must sit under your seat so they don’t block the aisle for other passengers.

This trip was an amazing experience!
A unique post bus experience along winding mountain roads, sometimes close to the edge. A dreamlike journey through mountains and valleys.
