The Vereina Tunnel is a railway tunnel, and the principal part of the Vereina railway line, in the canton of Graubünden in eastern Switzerland. It connects the Landquart–Davos Platz and the Bever–Scuol-Tarasp lines. At 19,058 metres in length, the Vereina Tunnel is the longest tunnel on the Swiss Rhaetian Railway network as well as the world's longest metre gauge railway tunnel.
The tunnel was built to improve all-weather transport links in the eastern part of Canton Graubünden, as the Flüela Pass is prone to heavy snowfall and avalanches in the winter months. Construction began in 1991 and the tunnel opened to traffic November 19, 1999. The total cost of the tunnel came to CHF 812 million.
