AIGÜESTORTES AND ESTANY DE

SANT MAURICI NATIONAL PARK

A UNIQUE SETTING IN CATALONIA

The Aigüestortes and Estany de Sant Maurici National Park is
the only natural space in Catalonia that enjoys this status. It
straddles the comarques (local districts) of El Pallars Sobirà, El
Pallars Jussà, L’Alta Ribagorça and the Val d’Aran.
Its peaks, forests, green meadows, crystal-clear streams and
over 200 pools form part of a harmonious area of spectacular
beauty that impresses all who visit it. This paradise boasts a
tremendous biodiversity and houses over 1,500 different types
of vegetation, 150 species of birds and more than 40 different
mammals. This beauty also extends to its skies, which explains
why the park has recently been recognised as a Starlight Reserve
and Starlight Tourist Destination.
All of the itineraries that it offers and its wide range of activities
allow visitors to gain a deep knowledge of the natural, scenic,
historical and cultural treasures of what is the most important
protected natural space in Catalonia.
