La Rhune, Basque Mountain.
From the top of its 905 metres, the sacred Basque Country mountain of La Rhune provides one of the best panoramas imaginable (rated *** in the Michelin Guide). As far as the eye can see, it takes in the peaks of the Pyrenees and follows the Basque coast bordering the Atlantic Ocean from San Sebastián to Biarritz and on to the beaches of Les Landes.
Did you know that the Petit Train de La Rhune is one of only three cogwheel trains in France? See the exhibition (see the news section below)…
