Furka mountain steam railroad
Discover experiences
Until 1981, the Furka mountain line was part of the Furka-Oberalp Railway, which ran from Brig over the Furka to Andermatt and from there over the Oberalp Pass to Disentis. After the opening of the Furka base tunnel, the private sponsors of the Furka-Bergstrecke steam railroad carried out extensive renovation work with a lot of voluntary work. From 1992, individual sections of the line could be operated with steam again. Steam locomotives from Vietnam, which had been sold there in the 1920s and 1930s, were also brought back for this purpose.
