Swiss Railway Journeys - TPC1: The Bex-Villars-Bretaye Railway

This is the official channel of the TV show Swiss Railway Journeys, run in association with MITV, the production company that created the show. The following episode represents original content made and copyrighted by MITV, and its content is in no way repurposed.
Join us for the scenic journey along the BVB line of the Transports Publics du Chablais, running from Bex in the Rhone valley to the popular resort of Villars and on to the Col de Bretaye in the Vaudois Alps.
We begin our summer journey at Bex, where the train runs along the streets of this historic village, before gaining its dedicated track at Bévieux. Along the way we make a visit to the fascinating salt mine, which has been in operation for centuries, where we venture deep underground by rail and on foot.
After Bévieux the way steepens and rack assistance is used to make the climb to Gryon, giving wonderful views over the surrounding countryside. We pause to explore the picturesque old village of Gryon and see the miniature railway situated in a nearby park. The end of this section of our journey is at the popular year-round resort of Villars, and we take the opportunity to join in the special celebrations to mark Swiss National Day on the 1st August.
At Villars we change seasons and make the stunning journey to Bretaye in February with deep snow on the ground. This is one of the region's premier ski regions and we enjoy winter fun by day and night. We also see one of Switzerland's mountain golf courses which is only open during summer months.

The music used on the intro and end credits in this video brings back so many memories of watching Swiss Railway journeys on the Travel Channel as a kid 😊

I find the description of every episode at the start very useful as it sets the stage for the Journey.

I have the three VHS sets of Swiss Rail Journeys released in the US, 18 in alI. I often wished they had been reissued on BluRay or DVD, but to no avail. At least now I can find them on KZbin.

Went to Villars sur Ollon back in the 90's. Not much has changed from what I recall. If you stay there, take a trip to Sololex, Restaurant Miroir d'Argentine. The mountain scenery there is amazing at sunset. And the Fondues are tasty. Just don't drop the bread into the cheese otherwise you have to sing to the rest! well, they use to back then!
