The Capçaleres del Ter i del Freser Natural Park extends to the most Pyrenean part of the two rivers in a privileged area. Located around the enclaves of Núria and Ulldeter, surrounded by mountains of almost 3,000 meters such as Bastiments, Puigmal, Costabona and Balandrau, it covers almost 15,000 hectares of very varied and rich samples of ecosystems, habitats, plant communities and species characteristic to the high- mountain landscapes of the Pyrenees, with a wide range of possibilities to enjoy.

The great jewel of the park is the natural and scenic heritage that will allow you to discover the spectacular high mountain fauna and a great floristic diversity.
