Versam-Safien is a station on the line of the Rhaetian Railway that links Chur and Disentis in the Swiss canton of Graubünden. It is situated alongside the Anterior Rhine, in the railway's scenic passage through the Ruinaulta or Rhine Gorge. The station is located on the south bank of the river in the municipality of Safiental, and serves the village of Versam that lies some 3.6 km (2.2 mi) to the south and some 250 metres (820 ft) higher than the station.[1][2][3]

Services

The station is served by trains on the RE3/R31 services, which provide 1 train per hour in both directions. A postbus service meets some, but not all, trains and links the station to Versam village, and to Thalkirch and Tenna.[2][4][5]
