The climate on the Furka is rough and the winters are long. For this reason, the operating season of the steam railway Furka-Bergstrecke is also very short. Nevertheless, many passengers travel on the steam train over the pass, which gave the legendary Glacier Express its name. Here, the HG 3/4 9 takes one of the red Furka trains in Gletsch towards Realp, where the pass road must first be crossed.
