Hello

Hope you can help. Does anybody have any experience of taking their car and caravan through the Vielha Tunnel? We are thinking of driving from Albi to Zaragoza and a route using the tunnel has been advised by Via Michelin and Google. We just wonder if anybody
has actually driven it. Thank you in anticipation of any advice or comments.

    It's a bit twisty on the Spanish side otherwise should not be a problem

    We have a 7m caravan and used the Vielha tunnel this year and last year. It is not a problem. Although the road is a bit twisty through the mountains,it is not a narrow road and there are no steep inclines. The tunnel exits before Vielha and then the road
    carries on along the Arun valley into France.
