Queralbs - Cremallera de Núria
The Núria Rack Railway (Cremallera de Núria) is a mountain train that connects the town of Ribes de Freser — with a stop in Queralbs — to the Sanctuary and Valley of Núria in the Catalan Pyrenees. It is the only public access to the valley, as there is no road leading there.
The route is about 12.5 kilometers long and climbs more than 1,000 meters in elevation, offering spectacular views of mountains, forests, and waterfalls. It operates using a rack-and-pinion system, which allows the train to safely travel up steep slopes.
More than just transportation, the Núria Rack Railway is a scenic experience and one of the most iconic railway journeys in Catalonia.
