Swiss Railway Journeys

The steep slopes on either side of Switzerland's Rhone valley are a paradise for visitors in both winter and summer, and the area is fortunate in having a variety of small colourful trains which enable us to make voyages of discovery around the region. The first of our two part look at the Transports Publics du Chablais concentrates on the BVB line which runs from the important village of Bex to the year-round resort of Villars, and then up to the Col de Bretaye.

More journeys along the picturesque railway lines of Switzerland. The scenic Chablais region is fortunate in having its own private railway company, the Transports Publics du Chablais, with four subsidiaries operating from Bex and Aigle to a variety of scenic mountain resorts. In this second visit to the TPC, we explore the three lines which run out of Aigle.
