I Took the World’s Most Extreme Transportation...

Switzerland’s Most Unusual Transport

John travels through Switzerland to try some of the country’s most unusual forms of transport. He rates each experience for its “vibe” while also searching for Switzerland’s best chocolate.

Stoos

John rides a steep, barrel-shaped funicular to Stoos, a remote village where cars aren’t allowed, then hikes farther into the mountains. Chocolate is hard to find: his first discovery is a vending-machine bar. The trip earns 8/10.

Along the way, he jokes that a hillside looks like the Windows XP wallpaper and gets an intimidating stare from a cow.

Open-Roof Cable Car

After praising Switzerland’s double-decker trains and an old wooden mountain railway, John boards a cable car with an open roof and spectacular views. He rushes to a nearby chocolate shop before it closes, compares the treats’ price with an expensive chocolate stop in Dubai, and unexpectedly meets a fan.

The ride earns 8.9/10.

High in the Alps

The next journey leaves John dizzy and struggling with the altitude, but the views at the top are astonishing. After eating at a mountaintop restaurant, he discovers that the elevator back down has broken. With the last tram looming, he and the other stranded visitors eventually descend via a steep emergency staircase.

Hot chocolate in town helps him recover, and he gives the day 9/10.

The “Poop Train” and a Chocolate Factory

A train powered by wastewater is closed for renovations, so John has to settle for climbing the nearby stairs. The day is rescued by a tour of the country’s oldest chocolate factory, though he has to dash out to catch his train.

Because the main transport attraction is unavailable, he gives the day just 6/10.

Geneva’s Boat Commute

John rides one of Geneva’s small yellow boats, which are part of the city’s public transit system, passing close to the famous fountain. He marvels that such a scenic boat ride is an ordinary commute for local residents.

The Chocolate Verdict

Before flying home, John samples supermarket chocolate. By then, he says, the journey has become less about scores and more about unforgettable experiences—though he still declares one chocolate the best without naming it in the subtitles.
