Vall de Nuria Rack Rail

The Vall de Nuria Rack Rail is a mountain railway situated in the Pyrenees, in the north of the Catalonia region of Spain. This place of interest connects the lines between Ribes de Freser with Queralbs and Nuria. Queralbs is the highest point in which a car can be driven to, and from then the only way of reaching the Shrine and Ski Resort in Nuria is by using the rail track. However, there is an old footpath that follows the rail line. The Rail line originally opened in 1931 and became part of the Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya(FGC) in 1984. The line is 12.5 km (7.8 miles) long and is worth a trip aboard if only for the scenery and views.
