This transfer by everyone from the train on the right to the train on the left and from the train on left to that on the right is brought to you by #CrossBorderRail. Also, finally welcome to France, country number six!

Chamonix-Mont-Blanc – and it isn’t even dark yet. Trust the Swiss to make a journey of nine trains with mostly short transfers work flawlessly.

Good morning and welcome to day three. Hopefully, I’ll cross under those mountains soon. Still not entirely convinced this is going to happen (despite having a reservation).

Needless to say, the hourly bus down to Aosta left ten minutes ago. Gives me some time to look at pretty mountains sunbathing.

All the regional busses in Valle d’Aosta are free during fall. That makes things easier.

These trains apparently are dual-mode diesel and electric, so then can switch to electric once they reach the electric network half-way into their two hour journey to Torino.

Engineering works between Valenza and Alessandria caused the train from Pavia to come in 17 minutes late. They turned it around in five minutes and we are off again with just 3 minutes delay. Might even make my 11 minute connection in Pavia.
