The Petit train d'Artouste in Laruns, France, is one of the highest tourist trains in Europe, offering a unique and scenic journey through the Pyrenees mountains. Originally built in the 1920s for the construction of a hydroelectric plant, this narrow-gauge railway now serves as a popular attraction for visitors looking to explore the breathtaking alpine landscapes. The journey begins with a cable car ride from the Artouste-Fabrèges ski resort, ascending to the departure station of the train. From there, passengers embark on a picturesque ride that winds through valleys, alongside cliffs, and across viaducts, culminating at the stunning Artouste Lake.
