Step into one of the Iberian Peninsula’s most impressive and best-preserved fir forests on a guided hike through the Gerdar Fir Forest, located in the peripheral area of Aigüestortes i Estany de Sant Maurici National Park. Led by an officially accredited park guide, this interpretive walk combines a relaxed pace with rich insight into one of the most important silver fir forests in the Pyrenees.

Starting at Refugi del Gerdar, you’ll follow a circular trail through a landscape that feels almost storybook: towering centuries-old firs, beech trees, mosses, and ferns. Along the way, your guide will help you understand what you’re seeing—sharing interpretation of the area’s flora, fauna, and natural heritage, as well as how this ecosystem has developed and why it’s so ecologically valuable.

The route leads to the Gerber Waterfall, one of the area’s most beautiful natural landmarks. Take time to pause, rest, and enjoy the sound and atmosphere of cascading water before beginning the return section of the loop back to the refuge.

This 4-hour hike is a great choice for nature lovers, families, and hikers who want to experience the Catalan Pyrenees with context and guidance, rather than just ticking off viewpoints. The route requires basic fitness and appropriate footwear, and it may be cancelled if weather conditions make it unsafe. In case of cancellation due to bad weather conditions, customers can choose between rescheduling or receiving a full refund.
