Through the Divedro Valley, the train follows the Diveria River and travels 19.8 km through the Simplon Tunnel, which has linked Italy and Switzerland since 1906. Brig, framed by the Simplon Pass to the south, the Driest and Aletsch glaciers to the north and the imposing Stockalper Castle, is a gem waiting to be discovered.
