Santuari de Montgarri
Mair de Diu de Montgarri
A 16th-century Shrine of Our Lady and abandoned village in a remote northeastern valley of Aran. Meadows bloom with wildflowers in summer, and the site is surrounded by snow in winter. It can be reached on foot, by bike or by ski.
The Sanctuary of Montgarri was built in the 16th century and features a distinctively shaped bell tower. It is surrounded by an abandoned village and a mountain lodge. From the Baqueira-Beret area, follow the Noguera Pallaresa river valley for about 10 km to reach it. In summer you can hike, ride mountain bikes or drive a dirt road to get there. In winter, it is a classic destination for the cross-country ski trails of Baqueira and for snowshoe hiking. A pilgrimage festival is held here every year in early July. The mountain lodge serves meals, but be mindful of changing weather.
