Val d'Aran doesn't feel like Catalunya: they speak Occitan, the architecture is Atlantic, and the landscapes are alpine. It's the most exclusive corner of the Catalan Pyrenees, with Baqueira as its star, but so much more to discover.

Area highlights

  1. Baqueira-BeretThe Pyrenees' most exclusive ski resort, with 160 km of slopes and guaranteed snow.
  2. Aranese Romanesque villagesVielha, Arties, Salardú: stone and slate architecture with exceptional Romanesque churches.
  3. Mountain gastronomyÒlha aranesa, trinxat and mountain cheeses at refuges and Michelin-starred restaurants.
  4. GR-211 hikingCircular trek through the valley with views of glaciers, lakes and traditional Aranese villages.

Val d'Aran in winter is skiing in Baqueira, but in summer it transforms: the Colomèrs lakes are among the Pyrenees' most beautiful. The trail starts at the Banhs de Tredòs parking lot.
