🚆 4K Highspeed train cab ride into the Swiss Alps! (Switzerland | ICE (Hamburg -) Zurich - Chur)

It's been a long time since we've last been to Chur, so let's change that! Welcome aboard yet another Intercity-Express (ICE) of Deutsche Bahn from Zurich to Chur, Switzerlands oldest city. This particular train has left Hamburg in northern Germany early in the morning and made its way to the south of the republic, crossing the border into Basel, Switzerland. A colleague has brought the ICE to Zurich, which is where we start. Only a little over an hour later, the train will have finished the 9+ hour long trip from the sea to the alps. Enjoy the magic sights along the way on the shores of Lake Zurich and Lake Walen further up. Notice how the terrain slowly gets rougher as we are approaching Chur, a city that is located literally in the middle of the alps. You don't believe me? Open up a map of your choice and see for yourself! Now please, sit back and enjoy the ride!

The german ICE serves Switzerland for over 25 years. Today, they connect Hamburg with Chur, Kiel with Zürich and Berlin with Interlaken. The handover between SBB and DB is always in Basel SBB, therefore all ICE's in Switzerland are driven by SBB personnel which are trained on the ICE. It's a partnership between both companies and countries, also to be found on the international lines to Austria (Railjet), France (TGV) and Italy (Astoro/Giruno). The ICE 4 reaches a maximum of 265km/h and therefore qualifies as high-speed train. However the route we are on is limited to 160km/h.

Locomotive/EMU: ICE 4 (BR 412)

For us spaniards, it's completely unbelievable that a High Speed train runs on conventional lines through small villages of 5000 people or even less with houses 10 metres from the rails!
Our HSR lines are newly built 25 kV lines that run through empty wilderness many km outside any big population, until they reach their destinations. That's why rarely go slower than 250 km/h.

Die ruhige Fahrt im ICE4 durch die Schweizer Landschaft ist ein Genuss. Bin die Strecke mehrfach gefahren — mit Blick aus Seitenfenstern. Der Blick nach vorne ist toll. Danke für ein wieder einmal großartiges Video! Grüße vom Niederrhein 🙋‍♂️

Particularly nice to see the number of people out for an evening promenade beside the lake.

One of the most beautiful scenic railway video's i have seen . The Swiss Alps are just so amazing...Thank you for the video.

Wonderful views! It was interesting to see how the train traveled from bare ground, to snow, and back to bare ground. Sun exposure, wind, and elevation, no doubt.

[bernie]

Thx for the video, I'll watch it tonight .
I'll enjoy it for sure

Eine sehr tolle Strecke bin die Strecke mit dem ICE 1271 ab Hamburg bis nach Chur gefahren und mit dem ICE 70 wieder zurück und das war wirklich sehr toll vor allem dem Zürichsee und den Walensee

Love this video. Beautiful country, beautiful weather. All train ride videos have to be watch with the screen in "full screen mode". This makes it seem more like you really are in the engineer's cab and are almost controlling the train yourself. Gotta love it.
