The ASD train climbs the first few, rather gentle horseshoe-curves among the vineries of Aigle. At Verchiez, a more than 180 degree turn will bring it high above the valley of the Grande Eau after visiting a side valley. In the front the bright rectangle is the wall of the Aigle Castle and beyond the mountains on the other side of the Rhone valley is France. To the right the depression marks Lake Geneva (Le Léman), and if I had been standing just a little bit higher the water would have been visible. Along the ridge on the right-hand side of the photo climbs the Aigle-Leysin rack railway on the other side of the valley of the Grande Eau. On the neyt picture the trace of such an AL train is going to be visible.
