The summit: One of the Chemin de Fer de la Rhune three-phase AC locomotives "He 2/2" departs with its train from the summit station La Rhune, located in the Basque Country right at the border to Spain, at "only" 905 meters above (the nearby!) sea level, but with a fantastic view.

France offers not only fast trains but also very cozy ones: Shortly after the summit station La Rhune (905 m above sea level), the Chemin de fer de la Rhune He 2/2, built in 1914 by SLM/BBC, with a maximum speed of 9 km/h, is on its first train of the day heading down to the "valley," where "valley station" refers to the mountain pass Col de Saint-Ignace at 198 m above sea level. In the background, the view glides over the mighty Atlantic as well as the two towns of Ciboure and Saint-Jean-de-Luz.
