Vall d'Aran

The Val d'Aran is located in the central area of the Pyrenees. Aranese is the name that the Occitan language of Arán receives.

A very deep rooted custom in the valley is to celebrate “romerías” which are processions in honour of saints and festivities pertaining to the countryside and livestock. If you wish to enjoy skiing you need to go to the Baqueira-Beret ski station, and, if on the other hand, what you like is trekking in Spring, you cannot miss getting lost in the Aranese villages, their landscapes and rivers.

Lastly, two recommendations: the first, if you need lodgings, I recommend staying in Hotel Albarés, where you can enjoy the hospitality of Mercedes (the owner) and Fugi (her husband) who will welcome you as if you were a family member.

The Valley of Arán hides many magical places waiting to be discovered, lakes, falls, rivers, churches, bridges, etc. These can be enjoyed both in winter and in summer as the area offers a wide range of possibilities.

During winter you can ski and in the summer you can tour endless paths and walks where you can fall in love with the views of its green forests. All of these make you want to come back even before you go.

This small waterfall is located next to the town of Salardú. Salardú is located in the Valley of Arán, in the Catalonian Pyrenees.

This is a valley equally enjoyable for those ve enjoy mountains in the summer and in the winter. There are innumerable possibilities to carry out adventure sports both in summer and in winter.

During winter the most frequently carried out sport is skiing as in this valley we find the ski resort of Baqueira-Beret.
