What you'll do

Your adventure begins with a pickup from your hotel if you're staying in Vielha, the largest town in the Aran Valley. From there, you'll head to the village of Bagergue, one of the highest in the valley, where you can admire its well-preserved traditional houses and narrow streets. Next, you'll drive up to the Port de la Bonaigua Pass, where panoramic views of the surrounding mountains await.

After that, you'll visit the Romanesque church of Santa Maria d'Arties, an unknown site home to some of the most impressive frescoes in the Pyrenees. The tour will continue to the picturesque town of Bossòst, where you'll enjoy a delicious lunch featuring local specialties such as wild boar or trout. You'll also cover Pallars, Ribagorça, Vall de Boí, and parts of the Midi-Pyrenees range.

An expert guide will accompany you throughout the tour, sharing stories and insights about the local history, culture, and nature of the Aran Valley, including its flora and fauna. The 4WD ride will take around 5 hours, with plenty of opportunities to stop and snap photos or stretch your legs.
