Bringing back such extraordinarily happy memories of times passed . Thank you.

One of the most beautiful railway lines I have seen! Great ride.

My son and I made this trip in Sep 2013. We were able to hike down about half-way and pick up a returning train at one of the lower stations.

Fantastic engineering and such a lovely journey! Lovely skiing in these parts and great memories.

I rode the Gornergrat Bahn in 1991 on a visit to Zermatt. Thank you for sharing and providing a nice memory. I was there in summer and less snow. I was backpacking around Switzerland and wanted to honor my Friend Kevin who Tragically lost his life on a North wall Matterhorn Assent in '88. I spent several days in Zermatt. Beautiful to say the least. Breathtaking squared.

Absolutely amazing. Thank you for taking us along. Well done 👍

Just came home after a trip up there ... truly amazing, mesmerising and a lifetime experience ... Greetings from Singapore ❤

Such beautiful scenery ...wish I was on that train. Thanks for posting this video I enjoyed every minute of this train ride.

I just stumble upon this video. As others have stated, this was incredible to watch. I may never be able to get there myself, but this definitely was the next best thing!!! Thank you!

Have done that , on just such a sunny day cloudless sky, the Mattahorn sat in all its regal glory, stunning, a bucket list trip for me

It’s beautiful place.thanks for your video. I never seen such a place in my life.

What a wonderful day for your journey. On my trip, in 1991, Zermatt was wet and foggy. It wasn't until we got above the cloudline that Matterhorn was visible in the sunlight. It was breathtaking. Thanks for bringing back the memories.

Likewise for my first visit in 1994. Weather is certainly the one factor none of us can ever plan for. Evening before was cloudy and the morning of this ride I awoke to clear Blue skies. The view of the Matterhorn from the top was everything one could ever wish for. Thanks for viewing.

Thanks for that incredible uphill ride. I´m more exhausted than their traction motors. My ears are clogged !! By the way at low speed it sounds like an EMD GP9 or F7 diesel locomotive. I must relax and take my breath. What a climb !

We spent 10 days in and near Zermatt as part of a European trip some years ago. It was early autumn, and raining lightly when we alighted from the Glacier Express to be met by a horse-drawn carriage to take us to a very, very comfortable hotel on the town square. Then the rest of the time, we stayed in a cottage a few minutes walk from one of the Bahn's stations - Riffelberg from memory, certainly well towards the top. We certainly needed a fire each night to keep warm. We'd travel down to the town each day for various expeditions, sometimes staying there for an early dinner (the last train back was around 19.30 or so), sometimes buying some food to cook ourselves. Very different to our suburban life here and a great experience.

Beside the cogwheel, an interesting point for electrical engineers is that this line is one of two three-phase powered lines in Switzerland (the other one being the Jungfraujoch). Look at the double overhead wire system, and the complexity of contactless crossings above the switches

@LegendLength

Жыл бұрын

I just wonder why they bothered have 2 electrical lines going up next to each other. Surely you wouldn't need any power if you are going downhill?

Very nice , like to go there someday.

I wish I could ride that train, wow

Boa tarde Pernambuco Brasil. Gosto muito de ver esses vídeos é muito bom mesmo

Magnífico maravilhoso que lugar mais lindo

Wow. From Wiki: "The line is 9,339 m (30,640 ft) in length, including 3,790 m (12,434 ft) of double track, and traverses an altitude difference of 1,469 m (4,820 ft). It is built to metre gauge (3 ft 3+3⁄8 in) and uses the Abt rack system throughout. It is one of four lines in the world using three-phase electric power, requiring two overhead conductors, with the track forming the third conductor." Fascinating.

Beautiful country

Very nice.

the matterhorn ride at disneyland was one of the only rides i ever liked there. probably the only one. it was my favorite. i have good taste apparently . i later found out it was a real mountain! i cant stand all the movie based rides...except i love the log ride and indiana jones. and tom sawyers island...but they are all very old rides..oh and i love pirates... and the jungle cruise was good... and i like new orleans square...

Excelente🎥👏👍💯👋de Argentina

Abt train. The scenery is also very beautiful. I would actually like to ride it. It feels great. 動画を見せていただき、どうもありがとう。

Wie Schön

I would love to do that. Wonder how they keep the line clear so high in the mountains .The only mountain railway I've done is Snowdon, it was tiny compared to that

no comment just perfect

Super merci ! 2 fils au pantographe , pas de courant par les rails ?

what a challenge to build

Nice vid! What's the maximum grade on that line?

So reminiscent of The Netherlands or Kansas!

I love how the Swiss do this kind of thing. There's a big mountain . . . oh, no problem, we'll just build a railway to take you up it.

Awesome train and view. How much? How to get there? Subbed!

What got to me is the color of the sky…

How many back forth passengers can the ride handle one way. ? Thanks ?

Posting elevation at key points would have been interesting

Another mankind brilliant achievement .Why not show the actual building , at least ,showing a portion. Thanks for the post !
