At St-Gervais, the narrow-gauge SNCF Z 850 052 unit awaits departure for Montroc-le-Planet. The onward journey to Vallorcine could not take place due to weather conditions (snow and avalanches). The image also shows how the standard-gauge tracks are spanned by a simple overhead contact line, while the narrow-gauge railway is electrified via a third rail. Feb 21, 2026

The SNCF narrow-gauge trainset Z 850 052 departs St-Gervais-les-Bains-Le Fayet, bound for Montroc-le-Planet. Further travel toward Vallorcine was not possible due to weather conditions (snow and the risk of avalanches). The image also shows that the standard-gauge tracks are equipped with a simple overhead catenary system, whereas the narrow-gauge line is powered via a third rail.
