Val d'Aran with the family: 1,000 lakes and mountain peaks

For many people, hiking in the Pyrenees stops at the Spanish border. Beyond it is far away and harder to reach, you think? Yet you can reach a corner of paradise in the Spanish Pyrenees without even crossing a mountain pass: Val d'Aran.

RayonRando introduces this superb region through a selection of beautiful family hikes suitable for a 5-year-old who enjoys walking. We chose accessible hikes with 300 to 400 m of ascent, always with a route and destination to motivate a young child: lakes, waterfalls and even an old mine.
