There are currently three platforms in use at Filisur station. From the direction of Chur, the line passes through Thusis and Tiefencastel. It then crosses two of the Rhaetian Railway's major railway bridges before arriving in Filisur: the Schmittentobel Viaduct, and the Landwasser Viaduct. On the Davos to Filisur line, trains from Davos similarly cross the Wiesen Viaduct just before entering Filisur.
