Description

EN:

The small train will take you through the mountains from Artouste ski resort to the lake, right? Ok, let's continue the adventure walking up a col between France and Spain, with astonishing views over the lakes of both sides. The view over Balatous/Balaitús peak in front it's just magical. If you keep your eyes wide open you'll see lots of marmots too.

FR:

Voyager avec le Petit Train d'Artouste fait plaisir à tout le monde, des grandes et des petits. Mais pour le plus aguerris je vous propose de monter un peu plus pour atteindre un col frontalier avec des vues inoubliables vers les deux versants. Les petits vont adorer les marmottes qui sont toujours presentes.

ES:

Plan montañero total para complementar el viaje en el tren turístico de la estación de esquí de Artouste. Ganaremos altura hasta llegar a un imponente collado fronterizo que se asoma sobre el valle tensino donde se encuentran los ibones de Arriel. Vistas hacia las dos vertientes muy buenas e increíble perspectiva sobre el Balaitús. Muchas marmotas en la zona.
