The Ordesa y Monte Perdido National Park is located in the heart of the Pyrenees. Founded in 1918. This is one of the oldest reserves in Spain and is under the protection of UNESCO. 10,000 years ago, most of the park was buried under 500 meters of ice. Thanks to the glacier, two gorges and two valleys were formed adjacent to Monte Perdido (height: 3335 m).

It is better to start your acquaintance with the Ordesa y Monte Perdido National Park from the picturesque village of Torla with a well-developed tourist infrastructure and information center. Please note that during the high season (July-September), access to the Ordesa Valley is closed to private vehicles. You can get on special buses that run all day between Torla and the valley. There is a large free car park next to the bus stop. So this village is a great option to stay for a few days.
