The Aig\u00fcestortes i Estany de Sant Maurici National Park is the only national park in Catalonia. Water, with almost 200 ponds and countless streams, is the protagonist.<\/p>\n

The Estany de Sant Maurici with the Encantats Peak in the background is undoubtedly the most emblematic image of the National Park and one of the best-known postcards of the Catalan Pyrenees. In summer, the aggressiveness of the rock of the Encantats contrasts with the tranquility of the lake’s waters. In winter, on the other hand, the white of the snow unifies the entire landscape. Any time of the year is special to enjoy this photogenic landscape.<\/p>\n

The park has more than 40,000 hectares, divided into 4 counties and 4 valleys. Thus, to the east we find Valls d’\u00c0neu (Espot, Pallars Sobir\u00e0), to the south theVall Fosca (Pallars Juss\u00e0), to the west the Boi valley (Alta Ribagor\u00e7a) and to the north the Val d’Aran.<\/p>\n

Most of the territory exceeds 1,000 meters with peaks of up to 3,000 meters, where the valleys and lakes were formed during the Quaternary Glaciation.<\/p>\n
