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.
