Description:

The Garmin Epic Trail Vall de Boí 42K is a 42 km distance race run on a technical and spectacular course including a 5,600 m elevation gain. This circular route goes through peripheral area of the National Park and the mountains that surround the Vall de Boí. The race starts and finishes in Barruera.

Aigüestortes and Lake Sant Maurici National Park is one of Spain’s fourteen national parks and the only one in Catalonia. Located in the heart of the Pyrenees, adjoining the Ordesa and Mont Perdut parks and the French Pyrenees, the park is an excellent representation of the main ecosystems found in Catalonia’s high-mountain areas.

This one-of-a-kind protected natural area in southern Europe is characterized by peaks over three thousand meters high; rivers, canyons, waterfalls, and marshes that make you truly feel you are in a land of water; 200 lakes of a variety of shapes and colors and a wide range of plants and animals fighting to survive in a harsh physical environment.
