Great Continental Railway Journeys

Michael Portillo is transported 150 years back in time to the tiny Alpine village home of Switzerland's most famous child, Heidi. In Davos, he follows in the footsteps of 19th-century convalescents at a former sanatorium, now the Hotel Schatzalp, and takes part in an icy cutting-edge experiment at the Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research.
