Le Train de La Rhune

It is one of the most visited attractions by tourists in the Basque Country. One of three existing zipper trains in France, which ascends a height of 700 meters in 35 minutes. The trip is only at a speed of 8 km per hour, so you can freely enjoy every moment of the most beautiful views of the coast and interior. Throughout the whole journey it is very common to see pottokas grazing or approaching the train to greet tourists, as well as the flight of birds of prey. It is advisable to go with good binoculars, because with a little of luck you could spot the sands of the Landes, the observatory of the Pic du Midi de Bigorre (located more than 150 miles away!) or the snowy peaks of the High Pyrenees ...

The Rhune train is made of wood. From above it, you can see the Basque Country, Navarre, the French coast and England, it is an ideal place to go with children.
