Rather late in the day I discovered that the BBC Drama 'The Night Manager' (based on a John Le Carré novel) features railways (and magnificent mountain views)

I've managed to see the Episode1 (where the second half is set and filmed in Zermatt.) on catch up TV via computer, having missed its terrestrial BBC1 screening

Somewhat unusually, very little of the location is disguised. The Gornergratbahn features, and a UK secret service person arrives into Zermatt station on MGB 'Komet' unit 2025. The only disguise is 'Meisters Hotel', which is Riffelalp Resort, although only exteriors were filmed in Zermatt
