One of the few rack railways operating in Spain, the Núria Valley Rack Railway represents one of the only ways to access the Núria Valley besides boats and hiking. As such, it offers an opportunity to appreciate the serene beauty of the valley and its lake, without the buzz and contamination of traffic. The magnificent scenery is on full show here, with the water reflecting the greens and browns of the forests which cover the sloping mountainside.
With sheer valley walls, dotted by pine trees on quarry stone, the Nùria Valley is a place of incomparable charm. One of the few ways to actually access this hidden paradise is by the popular Nùria Valley Rack Railway. Climbing over 1,000 metres through the Pyrenees, this rack railway offers awesome views across the chasms and rivers which run through this Spanish-French mountain range. Closed to traffic, the valley itself is an oasis of calm, populated only by the train and boats.
