Exploring the Ordesa & Monte Perdido National Park and Beyond
Situated on the West side of the Pyrenees is the Parque Nacional de Ordesa y Monte Perdido. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Ordesa is famous for its 3,000m deep glacial valleys, overlooked by Monte Perdido, standing at 3,348m high. The park contains a dozen or so other summits of over 3000m, mostly strung out along the border. There are hiking trails suitable for all levels. The challenging GR11 route also connects the Pyrenees range from the Bay of Biscay to the Mediterranean. The trails take one through mountain summits, waterfalls, lakes, and caves or follow valleys and high mountain meadows.
This 8-day adventure takes you deep into the heart of the Pyrenees, exploring the awe-inspiring landscapes of the Ordesa & Monte Perdido National Park, one of Spain's most iconic natural treasures. From the dramatic canyons of Ordesa and Añisclo to the Otal Valley's peaceful meadows and the Pineta Valley's cascading waterfalls, this trip offers an unforgettable experience for nature lovers and hiking enthusiasts alike.
Your journey begins with a stay in the charming mountain village of Torla, a perfect gateway to the national park. Each day offers two hiking levels, allowing you to choose between more challenging routes or moderate options tailored to your fitness level. You'll be rewarded with breathtaking views of towering peaks, pristine rivers, and the park's famous waterfalls as you traverse narrow cliffside paths, alpine meadows, and ancient woodlands.
Beyond the hikes, you’ll have the opportunity to explore the medieval town of Ainsa, visit the fascinating Bird Centre of the Pyrenees, and discover the peaceful beauty of lesser-known valleys like Escuain and Otal. With knowledgeable guides, carefully planned routes, and stunning natural beauty at every turn, this trip promises a perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and cultural immersion. Whether you're seeking to challenge yourself with steep ascents or prefer a more leisurely pace through majestic valleys, this trip provides a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience the Pyrenees in all their glory.
Depending on your brief, we can facilitate “A” walkers with more challenging options, “B” walkers with shorter walks with more peaks & “C” walkers with comfortable walks featuring areas of historic or cultural interest. The choice is yours. Just let us know in advance.
The CadÍ-Moixeró Nature Reserve is an essential place for nature lovers and can be contemplated anywhere in the region. Its peaks range from 900 metres (in the lowest areas of the valleys) to the 2,648 metres of the Canal Baridana mountain.
With a surface area of over 41,000 hectares distributed between Berguedà, Alt Urgell and La Cerdanya, it includes the mountain ranges of El Cadí and Moixeró, the Pedraforca massif and a large part of the hill of Alp and Puigllançada. It creates a mountainous barrier thirty kilometres long.
This geography offers a variety of landscapes, such as those of foothills, alpine and sub-alpine areas, and rocky environments with their characteristic rich vegetation and fauna. Given its east-west orientation, significant climatic differences are caused between each side, particularly the amount of rain. Similarly, small masses of water, such as torrents and some springs, can be found due to the calcareous structure.
The vegetation is dominated by meadows of fodder and garlic in the valleys, surrounded by fields of potatoes and beans. Deciduous trees, such as beech, oak, ash and willow, form the forests. Despite this, the trees that dress these spots are the Scots, black pine, and, in a smaller number, fir trees.
The animals inhabiting the area are typical of the high mountain, most notably the woodpecker (the park's symbol), Tengmalm's owl and the marten. However, the lords of the heights are the ibex, with a population of more than 2,600.
This is, in fact, the protected area in Catalonia with the most significant number of inhabitants and species of flora and fauna of European interest.
In addition to the natural beauty, the secret heritage of the park is a point of particular interest for tourists. The medieval walls and the porticoed square of Bagà are two perfect examples, not to mention the Gothic church and the towers and walls of Bellver de Cerdanya. The rural architecture and the picturesque of most of the towns and villages that form part of the park make visits an absolute pleasure.
