IntroductionDefinition

The Lyon - Turin transalpine rail link, commonly referred to as the Transalpine, is a ligne de chemin de fer mixte voyageurs/fret à travers les Alpes, entre la France et l'Italie. Comme les nouvelles lignes ferroviaires à travers les Alpes suisses, elle est destinée à la fois à accélérer les transports par trains de voyageurs et à transférer le trafic de fret de la route vers le rail.
