Aigüestortes i Estany de Sant Maurici National Park

This protected environment is home to more than two hundred glacial lakes and small ponds, with whimsical shapes and changing colors, where light and altitude transform every corner into a unique experience. The biodiversity is extraordinary: flora and fauna have adapted to a demanding environment, resulting in a fragile and fascinating balance that turns every walk into a lesson in living nature.

From the villages of the Vall de Boí, such as Durro, access to this natural space is simple and direct, with two entry points that allow you to discover it from very different perspectives. Each one invites a different, yet equally unforgettable, experience.

On one hand, the Planell d’Aigüestortes offers a gentle and accessible immersion into the mountains. It is an extensive plain where water becomes the absolute protagonist, flowing between forests and meadows along a circular route of wooden walkways. It is a low-difficulty, adapted, and accessible itinerary, designed so that any visitor—including families with children or people with reduced mobility—can enjoy the magic of the place without barriers.

In contrast, the Cavallers area shows the wildest and most vertical side of the landscape. Here, the terrain becomes rugged and mineral, with paths that wind between large granite boulders and glacial valleys of breathtaking visual power. This is also the territory of great heights, where several of the peaks over 3,000 meters of the Vall de Boí rise, true landmarks of the Pyrenees that attract hikers, mountaineers, and climbers all year round.

The Vall de Boí is, in short, a place where the mountain expresses itself in all its forms: gentle and welcoming in some corners, wild and challenging in others. A destination that invites you to pause, breathe deeply, and let yourself be moved by the grandeur of nature in its purest state.
