Welcome to the second cab ride along the world famous, heritage listed Bernina railway, this time in 4K 60 frames per second quality — and during winter. If you missed the first run along this track, it is worth checking out youtu.be/Mw9qiV7XlFs (recorded Autumn 2019).
A special thank you to Paolo for recording this trip. His channel: www.youtube.com/user/dellacapaolo/
The Bernina railway sets a few records, including being the highest railway alpine crossing in Europe (2253m), the highest adhesion railway of the continent, the open air railway with the greatest height difference (1824m) and furthermore one of the steepest adhesion railways (conventional railway without cogs) worldwide, with gradients of up to 7%.
The gradients are included in the upper right corner in the same format as they appear to the driver. The arrow indicates whether the gradient is up or down, the larger number is the promille value (1/10 of 1%) and the smaller number indicates the distance of the gradient in meters. You will also see station names with their altitude, tunnel and bridge names with their length and year of construction — as well as other interesting information along the way to improve your viewing experience.
A unique aspect of Switzerlands narrow gauge mountain railways is the mixing of passenger and freight wagons in a single train, with wagons often added or removed at intermediate stops with shunting locomotives. On the Bernina line, the cargo mostly consists of wood on stake cars and derivatives of oil in tank cars. Today we take a wagon with us from Pontresina to Poschiavo with good for a Coop supermarket.
Thanks for watching and have a great day!

Trekking in the Langtang area of Nepal, spring 2013. The forests are full of red, pink and white rhododendron flowers. The mountain peaks are covered in fresh snow. The prayer flags flutter in the wind. The trek took us to the peaks at the top of the Langtang valley, including Tsergo Ri, with views of the lowest 8000m peak Sishapangma. Later we reached the sacred lakes at Gosainkund. Back in Kathmandu at the end are the many temples in Durbah Square, and the 43m high Bhudist stupa at Boudhanath.
