Know the environment
The lovely town center of Artíes is as worthy of note as its views from a distance. It has all the charm of a mountain village: houses with sloped roofs and cobbled side streets that lead to bars and restaurants with a lively atmosphere.
The Arán Valley was one of the first Catalan locations to receive the Sports Tourism Destination seal. In addition to snow sports, you won't want to miss the hiking trails that invite you to discover woods, streams, alpine flowers such as orchids and the large-flowered butterwort (as beautiful as they are difficult to find), and lovely waterfalls with a powerful, relaxing sound. In addition to hiking, other options include driving routes, mountain biking and a wide variety of active tourism activities: horseback riding routes, climbing, rafting, riverboarding, rapids and pitch & putt.
