    A two-hour driver's-eye cab ride along the Bernina railway from St. Moritz in Switzerland to Tirano in Italy. The UNESCO-listed line crosses the Alps at high altitude with steep adhesion gradients.

    Recommended as relaxing slow-TV, a long scenic video to unwind with.

      Some of my favorite long ones. They are incredibly relaxing. Washington DC - Seattle full trip [LINK] All PS2 games ever released [LINK] (and they have a video for every single major console too) Switzerland to Italy through the Bernina pass train ride this video Tokyo subway Yamanote line full loop (even though it's only 1 hour long) [LINK] Tokyo highway trip [LINK]

      I'm personally very fond of train cab ride videos (e.g. this video ). You can find these on YouTube with music as well, but pairing them with local radio (in this case one of the SWR channels [LINK] ) could also be nice in this project as a non-car option.

      Looking forward to some nice cabride vids from this line. My favorite from this part of Europe is the Bernina Express across the alps from Switzerland to Italy. Definetly worth a slow tv watch if you love trains. (e.g. this video )

      I've been watching and unreasonable amount of train cab ride videos on youtube. Some how it's a good way to unwind at the end of the day, and pretend I can actually go somewhere :-) this video
