The Saint-Gervais–Vallorcine railway (French: Ligne de Saint-Gervais-les-Bains-Le Fayet à Vallorcine), also known as the Saint-Gervais–Vallorcine Line, is a single-track 36.5 km (22.7 mi) long metre gauge railway in France connecting the SNCF's Saint-Gervais-les-Bains-Le Fayet station with Vallorcine station and the border with Switzerland (Le Châtelard) through Chamonix.

Finally in 1844 the sections between Strasbourg and Koenigshoffen, and between Saint-Louis and the France–Switzerland border were opened. [3] With its southern terminus at Basel St. Johann, it was the first railway line to serve Switzerland, before the Spanisch-Brötli-Bahn. [5]
The France–Switzerland border is 572 km (355 mi) long. [1] [2] Its current path is mostly the product of the Congress of Vienna of 1815, with the accession of Geneva, Neuchâtel and Valais to the Swiss Confederation, but it has since been modified in detail, the last time being in 2002.

At the time of study, services carried some 7'000 commuters a day; with the improved network this was expected to grow to over 35'000 and cut up to 50'000 car journeys between France and Switzerland. The largest civil engineering project within the scheme was the CEVA line from Cornavin to Annemasse. Connecting the two stations had been ...
Lines. This map shows all railways described as “general interest” by law, as opposed to local interest railways. However, several railways initially considered as local interest have eventually been reclassified as general interest: in this case, railways are shown on this map as soon as they are constructed, unless the reclassification coincided with a transformation of the ...
