·       Before you arrive you’ll pass the Plan Batalhèr picnic area, ideal for a family day out, where beeches and towering fir trees shade the picnic tables. The area is equipped with barbecues, fifteen tables and source of drinking water.

At the Varicauba forest you’ll find a mountain bike circuit designed for expert mountain bikers and fans of the most extreme downhills: Val d’Aran Mountain Bike Park.
