RD21646vid/a. Funiculaire de Barberine.

            RD21646vid/a.  The Funiculaire de Barberine, now known as the Funiculaire du Châtelard, is at Le Châtelard in the west of Switzerland very close to the French border.  At the time of my visit it was said to be the steepest funicular  in the world with a gradient of 87%.  

At the top it connects with a 2 foot / 60 cm gauge railway which takes the traveller to the base of another funicular which has two small cabins carrying ten passengers at a time.  The three railways connect Le Châtelard with the Lac d’Emosson reservoir and the Emosson, or Barberine, Dam.  

The 2 foot gauge line and the Minifunic will feature in future videos.
