Đường qua hầm tàu khá xa, để đi đường này cần gửi xe ở chân đèo và đi thẳng vào hầm tàu hỏa. Đây có thể xem là thử thách mạo hiểm khá thú vị đối với dân phượt vì phải đi bộ qua hầm tàu tối dài gần 1km với lối đi có chiều rộng chỉ khoảng 50cm. Trong hầm có những hốc nhỏ để núp tránh tàu tuy nhiên trong khoảng 100m đầu và cuối của hầm không có tàu nên đường này tương đối nguy hiểm. Nếu tàu vào hầm cần phải núp ngay vào hốc tránh tàu này, cảm giác sẽ rất tuyệt. Qua khỏi hầm tàu lửa đi thêm tầm 4km sẽ đến được làng Vân.
