  1. A picture taken in August 2020, at about 3,000 metres a.s.l. We see a pair of 1970s Bhe 4/8 cogwheel units of the #Gornergrat🇨🇭Railway, just before they arrive at the summit station, on their way up from #Zermatt. Mount #Matterhorn is visible in the distance.

  6. Pictured here is an #RhB🇨🇭#RhaetischeBahn Ge4/4 I on the #Albula line, hauling the narrow-gauge #GlacierExpress from #Davos, bound for #Zermatt. This is the “world’s slowest express train” they say, and it’s arguably one of the most scenic train rides. Photo taken in August 2011.

  7. I am back in the US after a vacation to #Europe (specifically to #Rome and #Florence in #Italy and #Zermatt in #Switzerland). I want trains, god dammit!

  8. #Zermatt, this is just absurd. Texans like me weren't built to handle *one degree* Farenheit. And at the summit we visited, it was -4 Farenheit. Got some excellent pictures though :D

  9. Our goal of today was taking the Gornergratbahn to, you guest it, the Gornergrat above Zermatt. Because of technical difficulties the service was suspended, so we had to re-plan.

    As there is an extensive winter hiking trail network, we decided to take the old way of transport: leg work!

    We did not reach the 3090 meter which we would have reached by train, but got some decent views on the Matterhorn. In the end we had made a nice round around Zermatt of 3h30m.

    Today was a good day.

  10. After a fun rerouting via bus to work around a rail segment being under maintenance, we have finally arrived in #Täsch, #Switzerland. Tomorrow, #Zermatt. #OsmAnd has come in handy multiple times on this vacation. I've consciously been avoiding using the Google apps, and I am in awe of the collective efforts of all the users and contributors to #Osm #OpenStreetMap.

  11. I'm going to be in #Florence and #Rome for a couple days, followed by #Zermatt for a few more. I've never actually signed anybody's #pgp #gpg keys, but hey! Perhaps this could be a chance to learn how to do that *and* add some trans-atlantic edges to that web of trust!
