The 2nd Val d’Aran Walking Festival, to be held from 1 to 7 July, organized by Camins with the support of the Club Alpi Aranes, has almost ready this year’s program. Walkers can already register for this event which will have more hiking excursions of all levels and more cultural and gastronomic visits to publicize the products of the brand guarantee Val d’Aran.
The classic excursions to such emblematic places as the lakes of Colomers, the Historical Way of Port de Vielha, the Camin Reiau that joins the villages of the Valley, or the observation of stars will not be absent. In addition, this second edition presents several novelties:
Visit to the Victoria Mine in Arres next to Musèus Val d’Aran, where we will discover the mining heritage of the valley.
Crossing the Coth de Baretja, magical place and natural passage between the French valley of Luchon and the village of Bossòst.
Visit to the Interpretation Centre of the Artiga de Lin and the new guarded Refuge of the Pla de la Artiga.
New hiking excursions to the Lakes of Saboredo, the Bassa de Arres, and the Tuc de Aubas, fantastic viewpoint of the massif of Aneto.
Workshop of Medicinal Plants of the Val d’Aran.
Introduction to Nordic Walking along the valley paths.
Visit to Aran Park, a wildlife park with wolves, marmots, deer, bears, vultures, and other species of the Pyrenees.
Visit to the new artisan brewery of Bossòst, with beer tasting included.
And, to end the Festival, the Historical Way of the Port of Bonaigua, which links Vall d’Aneu with Val d’Aran, as part of the Camins Vius programme.
The Festival is sponsored by Foment de Torisme Val d’Aran, Conselh Generau d’Aran and Ajuntament de Naut Aran. It has the collaboration of the Town Councils of Vielha and Bossòst, artisans and producers of the valley and various sports companies.
