Arties sits where the Garona and Valarties rivers meet, a village of stone houses, Romanesque churches and a reputation for two things: its natural thermal springs and some of the best eating in the valley.

Goed om te weten

Arties has a cluster of well-regarded restaurants and is a favourite for an off-slope lunch or dinner in the Val d'Aran, alongside its riverside setting and natural thermal springs.

Yes — Arties has open-air pools of warm (around 39°C) sulphur water beside the Garona, a lovely après-ski soak. A short drive up the valley, the high Banhs de Tredòs (at about 1,750 m, billed as Europe's highest thermal spa) is the grander option.

Bagergue

Bagergue is the highest permanently-inhabited village in the Val d'Aran, a tiny huddle of stone and slate on a shelf above Salardú — repeatedly named among the most beautiful villages in Spain.

Baqueira Beret Ski Area

Baqueira Beret is one of Spain's largest ski resorts and its most prestigious — 169 km of pistes strung across three linked sectors (Baqueira, Beret and Bonaigua) high in the Val d'Aran, on the northern, Atlantic-facing side of the Pyrenees where the snow falls deepest and lasts longest.
