It's been a long time since we've last been to Chur, so let's change that! Welcome aboard yet another Intercity-Express (ICE) of Deutsche Bahn from Zurich to Chur, Switzerlands oldest city. This particular train has left Hamburg in northern Germany early in the morning and made its way to the south of the republic, crossing the border into Basel, Switzerland. A colleague has brought the ICE to Zurich, which is where we start. Only a little over an hour later, the train will have finished the 9+ hour long trip from the sea to the alps. Enjoy the magic sights along the way on the shores of Lake Zurich and Lake Walen further up. Notice how the terrain slowly gets rougher as we are approaching Chur, a city that is located literally in the middle of the alps. You don't believe me? Open up a map of your choice and see for yourself! Now please, sit back and enjoy the ride!

The german ICE serves Switzerland for over 25 years. Today, they connect Hamburg with Chur, Kiel with Zürich and Berlin with Interlaken. The handover between SBB and DB is always in Basel SBB, therefore all ICE's in Switzerland are driven by SBB personnel which are trained on the ICE. It's a partnership between both companies and countries, also to be found on the international lines to Austria (Railjet), France (TGV) and Italy (Astoro/Giruno). The ICE 4 reaches a maximum of 265km/h and therefore qualifies as high-speed train. However the route we are on is limited to 160km/h.
