Discover Val de Lord
The Vall de Lord is a small valley located in Alt Solsonès that presents a perfect combination of all the characteristic natural elements of the Pre-Pyrenees: mountains, rivers, vegetation and animals.
The different mountain ranges and their rivers are full of vegetation, which is very diverse thanks to the strong variability of the terrain. Pre-Pyrenean landscapes predominate in this environment with subalpine meadows and black pine forests in the higher parts and oak and Scots pine forests in the lower areas. This variability means that the landscape in spring and summer is painted with different shades of green and during autumn it adopts different contrasts of reds, oranges and yellows.
