Manaslu Adventures offers you an experience hiking through the Vall d’Aran, located in the northwest corner of Catalonia. The region is crossed by the Garonne River. This makes it the only one in Catalonia that belongs to the Atlantic river basin. Its location in the middle of the Pyrenees and the high mountains that form the valley have conditioned its history and its strong character. These mountains are a paradise for lovers of hiking and high mountains. Manaslu Adventures will take you through its best corners, far from the crowds, places to discover where you can truly connect with nature and with yourself.
