“An S-shaped curve is clearly etched across the snowfield,” a reporter said, describing the scene along the route as visitors returned to the high-altitude landscape.
At Murodo, located at an elevation of about 2,450 meters, the towering snow corridor known as the “Yuki no Otani” reached a height of 12 meters this year, about 4 meters lower than last year.
The Alpine Route is regarded as one of the world’s leading mountain sightseeing destinations, and this year marks the 55th anniversary of its full opening.
