Zermatt to Geneva

Armed with his 1913 railway guide, Michael Portillo travels from the Swiss Alps to the shores of Lake Geneva. From the Swiss Alps to the shores of Lake Geneva caught up in a war zone with the Red Cross and rescued from an avalanche by a St Bernard puppy. Takes to the skies in a vintage bi-plane and tries watchmaking, James Bond style.

Michael Portillo sillonne les Alpes suisses jusqu'aux rives du lac Léman : en chemin, il se retrouve dans une zone de guerre et un Saint-Bernard le sauve d'une « avalanche ».
