| Swiss Rail Journeys II: The BLS Lotschberg Line |
| Producer: Acorn Media |
Our journey on the Bern-Lötschberg-Simplon (BLS) line begins at the important town of Brig, near the Italian border. Immediately, we climb up the steep side of the Rhone valley towards the Alpine divide at Goppenstein. After the impressive summit tunnel, we descend into the lush Kander valley, stopping to visit a traditional wooden box maker. At Spiez, on the shore of sparkling Lake Thun, we break our journey for a visit to the local castle. A side trip to the popular resort town of Interlaken introduces us to the history of the Lötschberg line, leading us back to a stop at the BLS depot at Spiez. The rail journey ends at the historic town of Thun, where we board a lovingly-restored BLS paddle steamer for an excursion down the lake.
