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 12.4 km long TMB (Tramway du Mont-Blanc) rack railway has been running from Saint Gervais les Bains Le Fayet station to the Nid d'Aigle in the Mont Blanc massif since 1913, with the first section to Col de Voza having been opened in the summer of 1908. A curious feature is the ‘naming’ of the vehicles: they have no identification or number but are named after the director's daughters, and each train has its own colour. At the hairpin bend between Le Fayet and St-Gervais, the Blue MARIE with the control car of the same name is on its way from the Col de Voza to the Saint Gervais les Bains Le Fayet train Station. 21 February 2026
