Protegido por las montañas, en la frontera entre los pirineos franceses y catalanes, el valle d'Aran es un paraíso de extensos prados, bosques, lagos y animales salvajes. El aislamiento natural que le ha proporcionado la cordillera (hasta que no se abrió el túnel de Vielha, el único paso de acceso era el puerto de la Bonaigua que se cerraba con las nieves) han hecho de esta zona un micromundo: una arquitectura muy singular, el agradable carácter de sus gentes, la gastronomía e incluso idioma propio.
La capital de la comarca es Vielha, centro económico, social y turístico de la zona. Detrás le siguen Arties, Salardú y Baqueira Beret con 77 kms de pistas para esquiar y con rutas de esquí nórdico. Todos los pueblecitos de la zona tienen un encanto especial, conservan iglesias románicas, tejados de pizarra, casonas medievales con escudos nobiliarios, y ese olor a chimenea que emerge entre el frio aroma de tierra mojada. Ahí se encuentran las poblaciones de Unha y Bagergue, el valle de Liat, la cascada de Saut deth Pish y el mirador de Vilac.

Protected by mountains on the border between French and Catalan Pyrenees, the Val d'Aran is a paradise of meadows, forests, lakes and wildlife. The natural isolation has provided the range (until the tunnel was opened Vielha, the only way of access was the port of Bonaigua that closed with snow) have made this area a microworld: a unique architecture , the friendly character of its people, cuisine and even language itself.
The capital of the region is Vielha, the economic, social and tourism in the area. Behind followed Arties, Baqueira Beret Salardú and with 77 kms of ski slopes and cross-country skiing routes. All villages in the area have a special charm, preserved Romanesque churches, slate roofs, houses medieval coats of arms, and the smell of fire emerging from the cold scent of wet earth. There are stocks and Bagergue Unha, the valley of Liat, the waterfall of Saut deth Pish and the viewpoint of Vilac.
