Against the magnificent backdrop of the snow-covered Savoy Alps at Saint-Gervais-les-Bains-le-Fayet, SNCF unit Z 800 803/804 is being prepared for a TER service to Vallorcine. The three SNCF Z 800 units are identical in design to the two MC TMR BDeh 4/8 units; unfortunately, however, direct trains from Saint-Gervais-les-Bains-le-Fayet to Martigny are no longer offered—though it is still possible to make a cross-platform transfer at Vallorcine.

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
