View from this morning's hike near Trun, Grison, Switzerland. I started to do my hikes early mornings as the days get too hot even at 900 m altitude.

How to transport your water vehicle ( #kayak) on a #train? When public transport is run for the public then it caters to the needs of its passengers. The Rhine Gorge between Reichenau and Ilanz in #Graubünden (CH) is popular for water sports and #RhB facilitates transporting kayak's on its trains

#Furka car transport by Matterhorn Gotthard Railway between Realp and Oberwald (CH) yesterday. It is one of the four rail services in Switzerland taking cars through the Alps. The trains run through the Furka base tunnel avoiding the picturesque but challenging road over the Furka pass.

It happens unfortunately also to the best. Today 17:32 #SBB IC1 from Zürich HB towards Bern was “full and standing” also in the 1st class due to being only half of the scheduled configuration

Does anyone know how strict #SBB supersaver tickets are regarding which local public transport I use in Switzerland? Can I really only take the tram T23395 at 17:09 in Zürich or can take any within a certain time window? I Germany one can take any local transport for that route to my knowledge.
