El Tren dels Llacs

The Tren dels Llacs runs through one of the most spectacular and unique places in the territory, entering from La Plana to the Pre-Pyrenees of Lleida. Travelers can choose between two forms of travel: either with the Historical Train or with the Panoramic Train, which stands out for its large windows. Be that as it may, visitors will be able to enjoy landscapes that will not leave them indifferent, between mountains, bridges, tunnels and gorges.

This season, the Tren dels Llacs will be launched on April 6 and will be in operation until the end of the year, specifically on October 26. In total, there will be 24 circulations of the Historical Train and four circulations of the Panoramic Train .

The trip runs from Lleida to Pobla de Segur, near the Segre river, passing through Balaguer on a single track. It crosses the regions of Segrià, La Noguera, the mountain area of Montsec until reaching the heart of Pallars Jussà. When it leaves the Segre River behind, it becomes part of the Noguera Pallaresa River basin and allows users to observe the reservoirs and the Montsec, ending the route in La Pobla de Segur. Along the 89-kilometer route, travelers pass through 40 tunnels and 75 bridges.

With the Historical Train, passengers travel back in time aboard a railway with a 1960s aesthetic, traveling through the lands of Lleida until they reach the emblematic lakes of the Pyrenees. It has two diesel locomotives, models 10817 and 10820, built in 1968 and granted to provide mixed line and shunting services and, formerly, known as “ye-yés”.

As for the Panoramic Train, visitors travel through nature on the historic Lleida - La Pobla de Segur railway line. Thanks to its large windows, travelers can enjoy the spectacular views of the surroundings. This train has 90 seats distributed in two cars and is adapted for people with reduced mobility.
