Designed by Alexander Acatos, it was built between 1901 and 1902 by Müller & Zeerleder for the Rhaetian Railway, which still owns and uses it today. A signature structure of the World Heritage-listed Albula Railway, it is 65 metres (213ft) high, 136 metres (446ft) long, and one of its ramps exits straight into the Landwasser Tunnel.
Description
The Landwasser Viaduct has six arch spans 20 metres (66ft) in width, resting on five high pillars. The railway line near the viaduct has a slope of 2 percent, and in plan a circular arc with a radius of 100 metres (330ft).
The southeastern abutment of the viaduct is located on a high cliff, and at that point, the tracks lead directly into the 216 metres (709ft) long Landwasser Tunnel.
The viaduct's masonry is approximately 9,200 cubic metres (320,000cuft) in volume and is jointed with dolomitic limestone.
The Landwasser (German, lit.: water of/for the land) is a 30.5-kilometre (19.0mi) river in Switzerland, canton of Graubünden. Its origin was Lake Davos before this was turned into a reservoir for a power station. Nowadays it is prolonged by the creek Flüelabach at its source and changes its name near Davos Dorf. Davos is the largest town and except for the last bit the only larger settlement on the river. Landwasser empties into the Albula below Filisur.

From Filisur, a small beautiful village, one can reach to a vantage point in just half an hour on foot, from where you have a dizzying view of the famous Landwasser Viaduct. Next a path leads either down to the Landwasser River under the viaduct and into a ravine, or at the fork to the lookout point in ~2 hours and on to the Wiesner viaduct. This viaduct you can cross on a footpath while enjoying incredible in-depth views down under.

The Landwasser Viaduct is an ingenious solution to take a rail line across and through the Alps. Without the use of scaffolding, engineers used experimental methods to arch across a 200-foot ravine with an impossibly tight turn and plunge into a cliffside tunnel. Over 100 years later it still wows passengers on the Glacier Express and Rhaetian Railway with bold soaring arches and elegant design.

And 106 years later, in the year 2009, the masonry and track trough of the viaduct were repaired for the very fist time. The viaduct wall of natural dolomite lime is 142 meters long and at 65 meters high extends in a curve over the rugged Landwasser Valley and inside a tunnel, the entrance of which is on a vertical rock wall.
From Filisur, a small beautiful village, one can reach to a vantage point in just half an hour on foot, from where you have a dizzying view of the famous Landwasser Viaduct. Next a path leads either down to the Landwasser River under the viaduct and into a ravine, or at the fork to the lookout point in ~2 hours and on to the Wiesner viaduct. This viaduct you can cross on a footpath while enjoying incredible in-depth views down under.
