    Why the Brig–Visp–Zermatt line would be an incredible add-on to TSW 6 ?
    (pictures at the bottom of the page)

    1/ An iconic route
    The Brig–Visp–Zermatt line of the Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn winds through the Valais Alps, offering breathtaking mountain scenery. Deep valleys, spectacular bridges, and dramatic tunnels—everything train sim fans love in a mountain railway.

    2/ Distance and layout
    • Length: ~44 km of metre-gauge track (1000 mm).
    • Sections with a rack railway to climb the steep gradients to Zermatt.
    • Tunnels, viaducts, and tight curves provide a real challenge for drivers.
    3/ Iconic trains
    • The ABDeh 4/8 “Komet”: an iconic electric rack train.
    • Players can experience true rack railway driving, managing traction and speed on steep inclines.
    4/ ️ Unique scenery
    • Stunning views of the Matterhorn, one of the Alps’ most famous peaks.
    • Alpine forests, charming villages, and deep valleys along the route.
    • Perfect for TSW6 photomode and epic screenshot opportunities.
    5/ Zermatt’s unique accessibility
    • Zermatt is one of the few towns in the world accessible only by train (no cars, no planes).
    • This makes every arrival a special moment, just like real-life Swiss mountain railways.
    6/ ⛷️ Tourism and activity
    • Famous ski resort and high-traffic tourist destination.
    • For players: combine regular passenger services with the challenge of rack railway operation.
    7/ Why TSW6
    • Perfect combination of railway realism, technical driving challenges, and stunning alpine scenery.
    • Adding this line would give players a unique Swiss mountain experience hard to replicate elsewhere.
    8/ Community perks
    • Great for “rack railway climb” scenarios, precise driving, and managing tight schedules.
    • Ideal for tutorials on mountain train operation.
    9/ In summary
    Brig–Visp–Zermatt =
    ✅ 44 km of metre-gauge track
    ✅ rack railway sections, tunnels & bridges
    ✅ breathtaking alpine scenery
    ✅ arrival in the car-free town of Zermatt
    ✅ iconic ABDeh 4/8 “Komet”
    A must-have for train & mountain sim fans in TSW6.
