My January 2009 trip was blessed with more snow than the December 2007 one and it was particularly obvious around Ilanz. A good excuse to go back to some old haunts. This location west of Ilanz gets the light long before any other location in the area in winter and is a good place to start a day in the Vorderrhein valley.
Ge4/4II No. 628 led RE1237 towards Ilanz on 12 January 2009.
