Train from Davos to St. Moritz

How long is the train from Davos to St Moritz. I looked at the Rail Europe website but had a problem finding it.
Thanks

go HERE: www.sbb.ch and at the top of the page click on the "EN" version, input your dates, origination, destination, and timing...you can probably do better if you go to the "ADVANCED SEARCH" section

and it's a very pretty rail ride as Dukey can attest as i believe he just took the Albula Line segment and that is an amazing feat of railway architecture - even now anointed with UNESCO's elusive World Heritage Status - featuring several spiral loops that go into and out of tunnels as the train corkscrews up the Albula Pass - from St Mortiz the Bernina Pass train line goes down to Italy and this segment is what i think is the top scenic train ride in Switzerland if not all of Europe. Excellent resources for Swiss train travel: www.swisstravelsystem.com; www.ricksteves.com; http://www.budgeteuropetravel.com/id3.html. If you are taking a train to Davos from some airport and going up to St Moritz and back then investigate the Swiss Railpass (above sites have info) - one of the real bargains IMO of all railpasses.

Palenque,
I will be taking the train from Zurich airport up to Davos. I was thinking of maybe going over to St. Moritz for a day.

Well if that is all you will do - train to Davos and stay put except the excursion to S Moritz you are better off i think with buying regular tickets - sbb.ch - Swiss rail portal has all the prices in CHF (Swiss Francs).

latter the official site of the Rhatische Bahn, operator of trains via the famous Albula Spirals to St Mortiz and Bernina Pass route - actually S Moritz IMO ain't much so on a day trip i'd take the Bernina Pass line an hour up to the top at Alp Grum or Bernina Ospiz - Top of the World type scenes with a glacial lake to walk around and glaciers to walk to - outstanding day trip IMO

And a Eurailpass like you will have is valid on the whole length of the Rhatische Bahn, including travel from Chur to Davos and Davos to St Moritz, Bernina route to Italy. Some non Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) do not honor Eurailpasses, like part of the Glacier Express line from Zermatt to Disentis.
