The Little Train Of Artouste

Le petit train d'Artouste (the little train of Artouste) is 80 years old. Originally built to transport materials and personnel during the construction of the Artouste dam from 1924 to 1932, the train has been converted for tourism in 1932.

It now enables tourists to discover the magnificent landscapes high above the headwaters of the Gave d'Ossau, and provides access to Lac d'Artouste, a semi-artificial lake in the mountains.
