    While staying in Saint Moritz I hope to receive the Engadin card.

    I would like to catch the train to Diavolezza and take the cable car ride. Can I do this without booking ahead and just arrive at the train station and with the visitors card will it be all free of charge.

    thank you

    Hi Queenie,

    There are train and bus services that will get you from St Moritz directly to Pontresina. From Pontresina, you can take a regional train to Diavolezza. Please use the Swiss timetable to check train/bus schedules: https://www.myswissalps.com/travel/public-transport/timetable/

    regards,
