Surroundings

The Vall de Núria resort around the hotel includes several services and activities (see maps here, here or here ). However, most activities are available only during the summer season, so they might be closed at the time of the Meeting.

The outdoor activities of the social program will be focused especially on easy walks without going far from the hotel. They will include the 1 star (*) and 2 star (**) proposals in this map .

Please keep in mind that sudden weather changes are frequent in the mountain climate, and this area is known for extremely fast changes. See the wheather page here. It is advisable to take a GPS device with you in order to reach back the hotel in conditions of poor visibility.

Although these trails are easy and you do not need any special equipment, wear the appropriate clothes and hiking shoes. The ground can be very slippery if there is some mud or ice.
