Switzerland. A paradise for train travellers as this is one of the most finely-intertwined and heavily-travelled railway networks in the world. The combined length of the railway tracks of this Alps country total 5000 kilometres!

Rail Away -- Switzerland (late 1990s)
Part. 2.


In this part of the series we'll go from the heart of Switzerland straight across Europe's highest mountains towards the south of the country. It's going to be a journey on one of the most difficult tracks in the world. The train will take the travellers through hundreds of tunnels, passing deep ravines and steep slopes. We shall not only see beautiful scenery, but we'll get to know Swiss culture as well. The Wilhelm Tell Express goes by land and across the Lake Lucerne.
