Dubbed, The Mont Blanc Express line, the one-metre line that starts at the French station of St Gervais/Le Fayet, with a steep climb to the Chamonix valley, all the way through Chamonix and Argentiere, under the Col des Montets and down the other side into Martigny in Switzerland. Taken from a small foot crossing in Chamonix, two-car Z803 slows for its stop at the station with the 11.38 Vallorcine to St.-Gervais/Le-Faye. Despite seep snow and extreme cold, the trains that use third rail pick up still operate!
