Crazy Project In Switzerland: Porta Alpina
 

Porta Alpina = Alpine Door

They are building a railway station more than 1000 meters down in the mountains (3x the Eiffel Tower) with a 800 meter lift directly to the skiing regions.

Jeez ... how would you feel waiting for your train 1000 meters deep in the mountains? Thats nothing for me i think :Oh crap
