Took the train up to the top, and then hiked back to the station. A very nice and pleasant hike. The train is a bit expensive.

We took the bus from St Jean de Luz, to take this train, and were glad we did. We were there during off season, and had originally intended to hike down, but the weather turned, and we were advised by the train operators that the paths were a bit treacherous, so we followed their advice.

Car parking was also a problem. As you drive into the vicinity of the attraction you will see card parked badly everywhere. So as soon... More

In Sept 2009 we made an unforgettable trip on Le Petit Train de La Rhune. There were not too many tourists on the train so we had great views as the train slowly mounted the track to the summit, wonderful views unfolded to St Jean de Luz on the coast and the surrounding countrside. Another treat was seeing the wild... More
