Google Street View Train takes to the Alps.
In cooperation with Rhaetian Railway, Google Street View has collected images from one of the world’s most scenic railway routes—the Albula-Bernina line in Switzerland.
Google took a trike mounted version of their camera, and strapped it to flat rail car which was pushed through the mountains on the Albula Bernina railway.
It’s not the first UNESCO site that Google have mapped for Streetview. There are a number of notable world heritage sites available for users to walkthrough including StoneHenge, Pompei and the Hiroshima Peace memorial. You can find the full list of Street view sites worth a look over here.
Unfortunately Google hasn’t uploaded the images to Street view just yet, but it will be fun browser experience to take a trip through the Alps when they do.
