Weather prevented good viewing. Beautiful area. But this particular train tour would not have allowed much visualization of large mountain peaks even if weather had been very good. I didn’t realize that when we booked, and if I had I would have looked for something different. That said, the valleys were beautiful.

Very expensive, modest food, pretty scenic views, semi comfortable seats.
