The Tren del Ciment covers 3.5 km in about 20 minutes between La Pobla de Lillet and the Clot del Moro, where the Museu del Ciment stands, already in Castellar de n'Hug. More than a hundred years ago this line carried cement from the Asland factory to Guardiola de Berguedà; today it is a half-day excursion less than half an hour by car from Berga, at the gates of the Cadí-Moixeró natural park.
The route
It leaves La Pobla de Lillet, stops at La Pobla Centre and at the Jardins Artigas and ends at the museum. It runs through woods. It is short: what makes the day a good plan is adding the two visits at the stops, the Jardins Artigas, a garden designed by Gaudí, and the Museu del Ciment, in the old factory.
2026 calendar and timetable
It ran every Saturday and Sunday from 28 March to 1 November 2026, daily during Easter week (30 March to 6 April), from 20 to 31 July and all of August, and also on 1 May, 24 to 26 June, 1 to 4 and 11 September and 12 October. Trains leave La Pobla de Lillet from 10:30, roughly every half hour; the last leaves at 18:45 in high season, 17:45 in mid season and 14:00 in low season. Check the timetable PDF for the day. The 2027 season had not been published in November 2026.
Prices and tickets
The ticket that makes sense is the combined one: return train trip, admission to the Jardins Artigas and the Museu del Ciment, about three hours in all. Turistren publishes it at €20.50 for over-16s, €16.50 for ages 14 to 15, €9.50 for ages 6 to 13 and €7 for ages 4 to 5; under-4s don't pay. The train only, return, costs €10 or €13 for an adult depending on which table you look at, because Turistren's website keeps two. Buy in the online shop, which also secures your place.
Getting there
By car from Berga, heading north through Guardiola de Berguedà, it is about 27 km and less than half an hour. There is free parking in La Pobla de Lillet, next to where the train leaves. If you sleep in Berga, the Hotel Estel or the Berga Park are on the way.
Tips
- Combine it with the Cercs mine The Cercs Mining Museum, with its mining train, lies between Berga and Guardiola: with both, a day of trains with children.
- Buy the combined ticket online Turistren recommends buying online to secure a place and to enter with the ticket on your phone.
