An escapade in the Catalan Pyrenees.
Already, for the last 90 years, the Train Jaune with its blood red and gold
livery has been the criss-crossing the territory as a veritable symbol of the
Catalan Region...
The journey on the Train Jaune
resembles a panoramic film, in time with the swaying of the carriages: half
way up the steep inclines of the Vallée de la Têt, the train
is on close terms with the void before gently crossing wide bucolic landscapes
at the foot of the Canigou, Cambre d'Aze, Carlit and Puigmal massifs, with
the silhouette of La Serra del Cadi in the distance.
Just around a bend, we can see a village or a Norman church, or we can make
out the entry to the narrow Vallées du Haut-Conflent, reserved
only for hikers, and then we finally discover ski resorts hanging on the slopes
of the Cerdagne.
