Our elevation chart currently shows unexpected spikes. As we use satellite elevation data, what you are seeing are the mountain peaks where there are tunnels. Depending on demand, we may ‘remove’ the peaks and plot the track elevation. But currently you can track the train tunnels in the video via these peaks. At 2m40s the Ulriken Tunnel appears in the video with a caption stating a length of 7670m (4.7mi). This corresponds with the first peak in our chart at 1.8mi and lasting til 6.5mi into the journey.
