Ripollès
El Ripollès, one of the seven Girona counties, is located on the southern slope of the Eastern Pyrenees. This territory extends from the headwaters of the Ter river in the Camprodon valley to its tributary the Freser in the Ribes valley.
To the north, on the border with France, there is a group of massifs and mountain ranges of the Pyrenees with peaks of almost 3000 m, such as Puigmal, Pico de Finestrelles, Pico de Noufonts or Pico del Infierno, among others.
Further south, another line of mountains, parallel to the previous one but at a lower altitude, extends from the Sierra de Montgrony to the Sierra Cavallera to the east.
These varied reliefs mean that Ripollès has a great natural diversity which, together with its exceptional Romanesque heritage, with almost 100 monuments, has made the area a point of tourist interest both in summer and winter.

Valley of Núria
The Núria Valley is a unique Pyrenean valley of unique natural and scenic wealth that is located at an altitude of 1,964 meters above sea level, surrounded by peaks of almost three thousand meters.
Due to its geographical location and climate, it presents a flora and fauna characteristic of the European mid-mountain and high mountains, where large herbivores such as roe deer, chamois and mouflon stand out.
