| The little train of Artouste |
This is one of the famous tourist
attractions in the French Pyrenees, the train runs for an hour at 2000m, the
highest train in Europe, bringing passengers deep into the mountain range.

It was built by the electricity company nearly
100 years ago to work in the mountains to gather water for hydroelectric
production. Now only a section is used to carry passenger around.

Most elderly and young tourists only enjoy
the train ride, moving along a scratch on the mountains, with panoramic views
around. Followed by a short walk to the lower lake Artouste, then turn back.

Active people hike the 1.5 hours up hill on
big zigzags to the upper lake Arremoulit, with more gorgeous views around. The
hike is though as it is a steep ascend on such high altitude, but well worth
the effort.
