El Tren dels Llacs Àger, Alcoletge, Balaguer, La…

It is a historical train with vintage locomotives and cars, specifically from 1968, which will transport us through a nostalgic experience from Lleida to La Pobla de Segur, crossing the regions of Segrià, La Noguera and Pallars Jussà. This route was the result of a railway project that would link Lleida with Saint Girons (Occitania), but unfortunately the project never finished prospering. Thus, in 2005, the line was acquired by the Generalitat and managed by Ferrocarriles de la Generalitat de Catalunya (FGC), which enabled it for tourist uses and the Tren dels llacs was born.

In a route of almost 90 kilometers and with a duration of approximately two hours, the Train of the Lakes is undoubtedly a unique and obligatory experience for those who like nature. Following the Segre river and leaving the fields of crops behind, crossing four reservoirs (San Llorenç, Camarasa, Cellers and Sant Antoni), and climbing the vertical stones of cliffs and gorges of the Mont-roig and Montsec mountains, the landscape is a true photogenic spectacle where you can be impressed by nature.
