The driveway from Queralbs with the rack railway to the Val de Nuria is a real experience, and the builders' performance is remarkable. The travel costs are relatively cheap compared to Swiss mountain railways. The railway overcomes in 20 minutes a distance of about 8km and 800Hm. On foot you need about 3 hours on the parallel hiking trail. An alternative way to reach the Val de Nuria does not exist.

Hiking

The only transport to get to the Vall de Núria, apart from walking.

A highlight of beautiful hikes in the Pyrenees is the trip there on the rack railway.
