Take a train through the Swiss Alps with Street View
March 27, 2012
For the first time, you can ride a train on
Street View
. Through a partnership with UNESCO and
Rhaetian Railways
, we captured 75.8 miles/122 km of the famous UNESCO World Heritage
Albula/Bernina railway line
with Street View cameras. Starting today, in addition to accessing the imagery from directly within
Google Maps
, you can also find the collection in our
new gallery
.

Like our
trip to the Amazon
, this Swiss mountain journey also began last year, when we attached the
Street View trike
to the wagon of a Rhaetian Railway train. From the very front of the train, the trike took 360-degree images along the expansive track.

You can watch the video of how we did it
here
, and for more Street View collections around the world, visit our updated
Street View gallery
.
Enjoy the ride!
