The world of the Glacier Express
Robert Bösch, Iso Camartin, Paul Caminada
Thanks
to this extraordinary picture book, the unique journey with
the Glacier Express through the awesome scenery of the Swiss
Alps will never be forgotten. The fascinating photographs
take you along on a spectacular railway experience that
enthralls more than 250,000 travelers a year: into the mondane
tourist resorts of Zermatt and St. Moritz, to world -famous
peaks such as Piz Bernina und Piz Palü, on the Albula line
with the Landwasser viaduct, into the wild Rhine gorge,
up the Furka-mountain section line, to the Rhone glacier
and to the Swiss landmark par excellence, the Matterhorn.
The breathtaking journey takes 7½ hours, across 291 bridges,
through 91 tunnels and spiral tunnels, into narrow ravines
and over the Oberalp pass, 2033 m (6669 ft) above sea level.
The pictorial language of the internationally known
photographer Robert Bösch lets the reader experience the
journey both from the traveler's point of view and from
unusual perspectives along the route. His captivating pictures
of scenic highpoints and technical marvels make the hearts
not only of railway fans but of all fans of Switzerland
beat faster. The renowned writer Iso Camartin provides a
fascinating commentary on the journey, railway historian
Paul Caminada describes points of interest en route and
relates the eventful history of the line's construction. |
