Offering visitors a deeper understanding of the natural value of this unique area of Valle de Aran is the aim of the recently inaugurated Artiga de Lin Interpretation Centre. Through an interactive tour, the visitor passes through different spaces that describe, from the glaciations that shaped the Ribera de la Artiga 50,000 years ago, to the native fauna and flora.
The birth and the Uelhs deth Joeu, the history of the Ermita de la Artiga de Lin and the old Hospital, the Es Bordes route, stories of shepherds, traffickers, hikers and refugees, are some of the main attractions of this magical place, one of the routes used by those who managed to escape from the Nazis during the Second World War. It also describes the curiosities of the native insects and the various family hiking routes that can be done in the surrounding area.
The Artiga de Lin Interpretation Centre complements the initiatives of the Government of Aran in this beautiful Aran area, such as the Water Path, the new Artiga de Lin Refuge, which is scheduled to come into operation in September, the connection with the Aneto Aranese route, the connection with the Hospice de France, the tourist train, the habilitation of the parking area and the Artiga de Lin Hermitage.
The entry into operation of the new Interpretation Centre coincides with the start up of the Artiga de Lin tourist train and the entry into force of the motorised access control in the area, which will begin on Friday 20 July and will last until mid-September. The new Interpretation Centre will be open every day from 09:00 to 18:00, coinciding with the tourist train timetable.
