Real Rail Adventures: Swiss Winter Magic Real Rail Adventures: Swiss Winter Magic 1. OC , snow scene, Who’s ready for some fun? And I mean the magical kind of chair lift or sled fun you had when you were a kid…when you woke up to find the world blanketed in snow, school cancelled, and a brand- new sled ready to ride. I’m Jeff Wilson and if you’re ready, I’ve got the ticket to take you there. Come along on Real Rail Adventures: Swiss Winter Magic. 2. Standard open [Standard open] 3. Montage, scenics There’s no place quite as magical as Switzerland in winter. It’s 07 15 19 almost like a snow globe come to life. Church spires rise above white-laced villages. Crimson horse carriages jingle along frosty streets. And shiny train cars deftly wend their way up mountainsides. 4. OC , on skis For me, the best part about winter time in Switzerland is the outdoor sports. From skiing to skating to tobogganing to snow biking, I mean this place is as good as it gets. So, a few weeks ago, I decided to pack my bags, grab my skis, and hit the snow. 5. For years I’ve been riding trains in Switzerland, and it’s by far the best way to see the country. 6. OC , train station Train travel is more popular than ever , and for good reason . It’s relaxing, eco-friendly, and it’s a great way to get to know a destination and its people. 7. Trains You can bet that the well-connected Swiss rail system will take you to some of the world’s top winter resorts. All you need to ride is a single Swiss Travel Pass. 8. Map I’ll start in the town of Chur, and then head to St.. Moritz…the Goms region…Zermatt…Gstaad, and then circle up to Zürich. 9. Chur, city scenes I’ve toured Chur in summer, but this is my first winter visit. It’s Switzerland’s oldest town and there have been settlements here dating as far back as 6000 years. Impeccably-preserved medieval buildings still rim the winding cobblestone streets. 10. Chur railway station While the town embodies history, Chur is also a modern transportation hub and the place to catch one of the world’s great trains. 11. Albula/Bernina train The Albula Bernina line is the perfect way to plunge into the Alps. This train line was so difficult to build, and so crucial to Real Rail Adventures: Swiss Winter Magic copyright 2017 by Small World Productions. Co-producer and present station: KCTS / Cascade Public Media. National distribution by American Public Television. 1 transforming the culture in this part of the Alps that portions of it have been designated a UNESCO World Heritage site. An engineering marvel, the train finesses its way through some Switzerland’s most challenging terrain. 12. Landwasser viaduct One of the highlights, the Landwasser viaduct, is 213 feet high and spans 450 thrilling feet. 13. Map The train delivers me to St. Moritz where I can really indulge my love of the outdoors, with both familiar and new activities. 14. Train station shot; It’s easy to bring your own gear. Your first bag travels free on Picking up skis Swiss Airlines. SOUND BITE: Jeff: I’d like to pick up my bags. Agent: Yes of course. Just a moment please . And if you buy Fly Rail Baggage service, your bags are transported directly to your railway or hotel destination. Agent: Enjoy. Thank you. Bye. Jeff: Bye bye. St. Moritz area, scenic It’s said that St. Moritz—a name that instantly evokes well-heeled shots travelers and holiday glamor— is the birthplace of winter tourism. A hundred and fifty years ago, when this was already a thriving summer resort, a savvy hotel owner named Johannes Badrutt bet his English guests that winter months here could be even more fun. 15. OC , St. Moritz Now this was way back in the day when people were actually afraid to stay in the alps during the wintertime. So Badrutt promised some English guests that he’d pay for their entire trip if they didn’t agree that a snowy St. Moritz was just as beautiful and even more enjoyable than the town at the height of summer. Well, Badrutt won that bet easily and a new industry was born. Bite: PA System: Swiss German announcement. 16. St. Moritz, activity The area continues to thrive as an epicenter of winter sports— shots skiing, snowboarding, sledding, you name it. 17. OC, Olympia Bob I’m ready to jump right in with some cool runnings on a bob Run sled run. The Olympia Bob Run, built in 1904, is not only the world's only natural ice bob run, but it’s also the oldest still in operation. Bobsled driver: Hello, how are you feeling? Doug: We’re very excited. Driver: Yeah. Yeah. Real Rail Adventures: Swiss Winter Magic copyright 2017 by Small World Productions. Co-producer and present station: KCTS / Cascade Public Media. National distribution by American Public Television. 2 Bob run manager: Hold your tight elbows to your body. And you have to be one part with the sled. We have no suspension; we have quick change. Jeff: Ready or not, we’re ready to make bob sled history. I’m not sure what kind. PA System: Leap on the sleigh. The run is clear. Driver: speaks in Swiss German PA system: Now on the track the Heineken sleigh and Jeff Wilson and Doug Newell. 18. Olympia Bob Run The sleek track is just over a mile. It gives you the ride of a lifetime along frigid curves and bends. The sleds can get up to speeds of 80 miles per hour with centrifugal forces reaching four Gs. Each year track builders spend three weeks re-creating the track to keep it in tiptop condition. While the ride lasts less than two minutes, I get an Olympic-sized thrill roaring around the last turn and gliding into the finish. PA System: We hope you had fun; we hope you enjoyed. 19. Snow kiting on Another of St. Moritz’s contributions to outdoor fun is snow kiting. frozen Lake Lake Silvaplana, which is frozen for much of the winter, has helped Silvaplana foster this relatively young, but fast-growing sport. It’s similar to kitesurfing on water, but here you sail across a coating of snow, bolstered by wind, on the open expanse of lake. If you’re comfortable on skis, it’s fairly easy to pick up. Kite Ski Instructor: Beautiful. Jeff: It’s a great day. Inst: Yeah. Jeff: A little more wind, right? Inst: Yeah if it picks up. Yeah. Jeff: It’s all we need. Jeff: So Simon, you know I’m new at this because I tried to put the belt on backwards, right? I’ve skied a little, but what can I expect in learning how to kite ski? What are some of the basic steps I need to follow? Inst: I’d just like to say you can cross against the wind, or you can cross with the wind. Jeff: Like tacking with a sailboat. Inst: Exactly. It’s exactly the same system and in a sailboat you have a rudder to steer on the opposite direction. We have skis to steer somewhere else. That’s the only difference. Jeff: It sounds simple I’m sure. Inst: Yeah it is. Inst: And on three, yeah! One, two, three. Steer…steer… steer. Right…hard right. Very good. Hard right to the bottom. Hard right blue; and you can steer very deep to the bottom for the camera. Yes, right on. Real Rail Adventures: Swiss Winter Magic copyright 2017 by Small World Productions. Co-producer and present station: KCTS / Cascade Public Media. National distribution by American Public Television. 3 20. Horse carriage ride St. Moritz inhabits the dreamy Engadin valley. And a fun way to explore it is aboard horse-drawn carriage. A century ago, Friedrich Nietzsche wrote about this area, “There is no place I love as much.” Riding through the chilly landscape, bundled up against the cold, you can imagine it might have looked much the same as when that German philosopher stayed here. 21. Horseback ride If you prefer taking the reins for leisurely stroll on horseback, then the Stalla Costa will fix you up. This family-run company is known for its organic practices and animal-centered care. [Soundbite with guide] Ilena Forster Horseback riding guide: Horses are like all animals. They’re use to the winter. We have them all day outside so the make a nice winter coat. They don’t have cold or anything, they have a good coat. And we use special hoof shoes with spikes so if it’s icey or so, they are still safe. The guides are experts at reading horses’ natural body language to build a trusting relationship between rider and horse. [Soundbite with guide] Jeff: They seem like they are very….I mean they are big, tall animals for horses but they are….they seem very low key, right? Guide: Yeah, they are used to many things. We train them so they know a lot of things. They know people and trust us. It’s aah…We try to build up a language or communications so they trust us and respect. Yeah. 22. Bernina Line For stunning mountain scenery, try a day-trip out of St. Moritz on the Bernina Express. 23. OC, Bernina Talk about magical —this train line passes all the way from the alpine glaciers of Switzerland to the palm trees of northern Italy 24.

During the following three years PhD studies, he gave the prevalent and benevolent supports on tutoring lectures, managing field trips and organizing laboratory works. During this thesis writing, his rigorous scientific approach, enlightened guidance, creativity, and encouragement are much appreciated. I greatly benefited from regular discussion with him on scientific topics that not only stick to my miniature geo/hydrology interests but also quite broaden to entire geosciences by his wisdom and extensive experience and knowledge on the subjects. My thanks also go to my second supervisor, Prof. Dr. Ingrid Stober, for her patience and numerous help during my research work. Her strong support on field trips and extensive hydrologic knowledge are greatly valuable. Particularly thanks also to Dr.
