  1. We departed by car very early at 4:30 and drove to Tschamut, the last village before the road to Operalppass is closed in Winter. There we mounted our Skis and ascended the Piz Cavradi by its north ridge. It was absolutely lonesome up to the summit. The short downhill to the Maighels alpine hut was on enjoyable Sulz.

  2. Going through pictures taken on the #Swiss🇨🇭#RhB Rhaetische Bahn network in the early 2000s. There’s for instance this #RhB #DiningCar number #WR3815, metre-gauge and able to travel on the rack and pinion section on the #FO #Oberalp Pass. The train is the “Glacier Express” and the diner goes as far as #Andermatt, according to the train destination patch.

  3. A short consist, just four cars including a @diningcar style service car, for this #GlacierExpress🇨🇭 to St. Moritz. A 1970s class Deh4/4 #MGB narrow-gauge unit, originally part of the #BVZ (for Brig-Visp-Zermatt) fleet, will work the train over the rack railway sections of the #Furka and #Oberalp line.

  4. Immergersi negli articoli e nei capi d'abbigliamento per gli sport di montagna in uno dei cuori pulsanti di #Milano. #Oberalp ha inaugurato martedì 6 giugno il primo showroom in città in viale Sarca 336, nello spazio Open336 #montagna #sport #greenplanner

  5. Today a photo of the #Furka-#Oberalp narrow-gauge rack and pinion railcar BDeh2/4 #41 at the railway’s #Brig Glisergrund workshops. This unit was built in the early 1940s.
    The #Lötschberg line is visible right above the engine shed.

  6. #Andermatt🇨🇭 is at the heart of the #BVZ #FO #RhB narrow-gauge line stretching from #Zermatt to #St_Moritz. On the photo taken in August 2005: a Deh4/4 II railcar (right) and the HGe4/4 33 electric (left). The latter one, built in the 1940s, is about to depart for the #Oberalp Pass.

  7. A car-carrying train on a narrow gauge rack-and-pinion ⚙️ railway line? #Switzerland🇨🇭has it - over the scenic #Oberalp Pass, during the winter months when the road is closed. Take a seat in the comfy passenger carriage after loading your vehicle on the train. Very nice!

  8. When our main crew left Switzerland after shooting for Real Road Adventures, I stayed behind with Sherri James, one of our videographers, to shoot footage of driving over a few iconic Alpine passes in our EV. In one day, we covered the Simplon, Furka, and Oberalp passes, driving from Bellinzona to Chur and arriving with plenty of charge on the battery. What a wild ride!
