🚆 4K Highspeed train cab ride into the Swiss Alps! (Switzerland | ICE (Hamburg -) Zurich - Chur)
It's been a long time since we've last been to Chur, so let's change that! Welcome aboard yet another Intercity-Express (ICE) of Deutsche Bahn from Zurich to Chur, Switzerlands oldest city. This particular train has left Hamburg in northern Germany early in the morning and made its way to the south of the republic, crossing the border into Basel, Switzerland. A colleague has brought the ICE to Zurich, which is where we start. Only a little over an hour later, the train will have finished the 9+ hour long trip from the sea to the alps. Enjoy the magic sights along the way on the shores of Lake Zurich and Lake Walen further up. Notice how the terrain slowly gets rougher as we are approaching Chur, a city that is located literally in the middle of the alps. You don't believe me? Open up a map of your choice and see for yourself! Now please, sit back and enjoy the ride!
The german ICE serves Switzerland for over 25 years. Today, they connect Hamburg with Chur, Kiel with Zürich and Berlin with Interlaken. The handover between SBB and DB is always in Basel SBB, therefore all ICE's in Switzerland are driven by SBB personnel which are trained on the ICE. It's a partnership between both companies and countries, also to be found on the international lines to Austria (Railjet), France (TGV) and Italy (Astoro/Giruno). The ICE 4 reaches a maximum of 265km/h and therefore qualifies as high-speed train. However the route we are on is limited to 160km/h.
Locomotive/EMU: ICE 4 (BR 412)
Train stops at:
Zurich Main Station
Sargans
Landquart
Chur

Nice trip, awesome to have an office with a view like this!!!
For us spaniards, it's completely unbelievable that a High Speed train runs on conventional lines through small villages of 5000 people or even less with houses 10 metres from the rails! Our HSR lines are newly built 25 kV lines that run through empty wilderness many km outside any big population, until they reach their destinations. That's why rarely go slower than 250 km/h.

Exactly here in Spain we forget about conventional lines in support for high speed sadly
Wie immer, ein Dankeschön fürs Mitfahren, liebe Eidgenossen. Wieder ein klasse Video. Gruß vom Fahrdienstleiter Hans aus dem Mühlviertel in Oberösterreich. 🍻🇦🇹
Die ruhige Fahrt im ICE4 durch die Schweizer Landschaft ist ein Genuss. Bin die Strecke mehrfach gefahren - mit Blick aus Seitenfenstern. Der Blick nach vorne ist toll. Danke für ein wieder einmal großartiges Video! Grüße vom Niederrhein 🙋♂️
Such a beautiful country really enjoyed seeing the snow covered mountains. Greetings from Connecticut USA 🇺🇸

Had the pleasure of travelling on this route from Basel to Chur back in November 2021, it was a lovely trip.

One of the most beautiful scenic railway video's i have seen . The Swiss Alps are just so amazing...Thank you for the video.
Train to Chur, video is Cool ! 😍 thank you so much! 👍
Wonderful views! It was interesting to see how the train traveled from bare ground, to snow, and back to bare ground. Sun exposure, wind, and elevation, no doubt.

The higher the elevations, you expect snow because of lower temperatures. As you go to lower altitudes, the sun provides radiational heating this it falls as rain.

Thx for the video , I'll watch it tonight . I'll enjoy it for sure
Amazing landscapes on this ride
Fascinating weather, very atmospheric view of the distant cloud-shrouded mountains soon after Thalwil
I did that trip from Paris, Basel to Chur and then changed in order to go to Samedan in winter. It was a very nice trip.
Rode that route back in August 2018 on Ice 1. Beautiful. Great job, and thanks for recording and posting this video.👍👍🚂🚂🚂
Once again thank you so very much
Love this video. Beautiful country, beautiful weather. All train ride videos have to be watch with the screen in "full screen mode". This makes it seem more like you really are in the engineer's cab and are almost controlling the train yourself. Gotta love it.

I miss going to Switzerland. I took that route twice in my stay in Zurich in December 2019 (one day going to St Moritz and another day going on the Bernina Express)
Amazing and back with bang.
Ich möchte mich an dieser Stelle auch mal für die vielen tollen Filme bedanken.

Thank you for this video. Nice cab ride, a part never seen. Variable weather, with clouds and sun. After the Kerenzerberg tunnel very nice views over the Walensee, the mountains at left and.beautiful landscapes.Interesting the use for this cab ride of a german ICE 4. Also for the mention of the Churchill train.( at right and entering at Zurich Hbf.). But uaed for restaurant in this station, which dishonor.
i took this line last winter, it was really great ! I hope i'll go back there in the future

excellent video from ICE front window 👍 still slowly driving thru Ziegelbrücke, I don´t understand this station(after refurbishing). Few areas where will be possible drive 160, but not happen....takt is sometimes strange limit. I drove with ICE1 this route Z- Ch and back(when was ICE domestic IC).
I will see it with great pleasure
Bel video!!
It is sad to feel desensitized to Switzerlands beauty (I regularly have to take trains both on this route and on the lugano zh one). Thank you for the wonderful reminder! I will most definitely try to spend less time on my laptop and more re-enjoying the landscape 💕
Wieder einmal mehr ein prima Video! Der ICE 4 fährt ja schon relativ ruhig, bis auf Weichenüberfahrten. Bin zuletzt Köln-Hamburg-Köln im jeweils ersten Wagen gefahren. Da hatte ich den Eindruck, dass die Geräusche (speziell bei Weichen) geringer waren als hier im Führerstand.

Es ist schon ziemlich leise im Zug, umso mehr werden plötzlich auftretende Geräusche wie Weichen auf dem Video lauter aufgenommen als sie in der Realität sind.
I took this ICE 4 from Hamburg last autumn, I did however get off in Mannheim so I didn't get to see this scenery.

Thank you for the video. This is an "express" train rather than a high speed train. It skips many passenger stations, but its track speed limit is frequently shown to be a slow 90 kph. High speed would be 200 kph and higher. Even the fastest sections only appear to be around 160 kph. In many situations the train is running at the same speed as automotive traffic on the nearby roads, which are not high speed roadways. The alignment appears to be able to except much higher speeds, but they are not implemented.

Even if some parts are comparatively slow on this trip, the train is still considered a high speed train, capable of doing 265km/h.
Hello 💜 Now that was a beautiful ride you offered us! I read your caption and I assume that Switzerland and Germany have been cooperating for quite some time on the operation of trains. Do you know how long that cooperation between Switzerland and Germany has taken? I remember when I took the train from Hanover to Turin, and I had to change the train in Basel. Then, after that the train went straight to Turin. It was a particularly beautiful trip, esp crossing the Alps. I read somewhere that the Swiss are the most outdoor people in the world. I don't doubt it at all, the scenery in Switzerland is like straight from heaven. Thanks for filming & showing us this beautiful video. ¡Lo aprecio mucho! Greetings from Las Palmas, Gran Canaria (where we have zero railways lol). All the best to you ❤️ Te mando un abrazo! Hasta luego! 👋

If I'm not mistaken it's about 30 years now that the ICE runs in Switzerland.
Yes it has been a while - reckon the last time you took us this way was with the Red Bull Train. So much is new since then - Twindexx and Traverso are making their mark - it was very refreshing to see the 420 lined up with a tourist extra in Chur. What with all the unit trains (Giruno as well) coming in, what is the future for re460 and IC2000/2020 stock? Will some of the double-deck vehicles replace EW IV on IR services? How much longer are those vehicles expected to serve? Thanks so much for sharing your passion with us \m/

I'm watching your channel more now since I realized you upgraded to 4K. It really helps a lot. It also helped when you turned on the bright headlight in the tunnel. Thanks for your hard work. What does the voice say when it sounds like "Zee-Fa?"

In modernen Zügen ist das eigentlich Standard, im Falle des ICE ist es eine AFB. ETCS kann selbst keine Geschwindigkeiten regeln, kann aber, je nach Fahrzeug, in die Regelung eingreifen, in diesem Fall die AFB.
Schoene Landschaft und die Bilder in 4k sind impressive. Leider hat KZread generell ein Problem mehr als 17Mb/s zur Verfuegung zu stellen. Habe auch Probleme das Video erst zu laden und dann anzuschauen. Probiere gerade mit mehreren Computern woran es liegen koennte. Teilweise sind meine Bilddaten corrupted, nach einigen Sekunden gehts dan wieder weiter. Habe schon etliche Deiner Videos angesehn, sie beeindrucken mich immer wieder.

😊when whe start the ride i see that very old train on the richt,1925?mabey older?amazing to see.👍👍👍👍

Not sure why you stated in the title as 4K video? I can only watch as HD - 1080p. Thank you for your work so far.
I love your video's and your descriptions and your presentations. They give me many hours of enjoyment as I am so far from your beautiful, handsome and wonderful nation. However, my German is very basic and when I see the word "Doors Closing" I'm pleased and when I look at a translator and I see the words "Türen schließen" which is not remotely close to the announcement we hear, then I become confused. I also hear many other announcements from the cab - BRAVO ! For we non German speakers or those who are really struggling to learn. Can you make a dictionary of the phrases when hear announced in the cab? I realise and appreciate that I may be asking for a lot of work from you, but, it would really enhance our enjoyment of the truly magnificent videos. I can foresee you throwing your hands in the air and asking yourself "What else do these people want!" 😘 It's only a request, not a demand 😘 if a dictionary is not possible then it's fine by me. Thanks for your consideration. Maybe someone else will be kind-hearted enough to try. I'm a long way from Europe in a large Island nation with no railways (Papua New Guinea) and your efforts are really appreciated.

It's the only train that talks in these cab rides, so it's quite simple. "Schliessvorgang eingeleitet" (doors closing), "SIFA" (vigilance system) and sometimes "Störung" (disturbance or malfunction), that's it already.
