That is why we are taking measures in this direction. More information
A través de esta actividad de ecoturismo de Pyrene365, estamos comprometidos con la conservación del medio ambiente y el desarrollo local:
- Organizamos el desplazamiento al lugar de la actividad optimizando el uso de vehículos para así minimizar nuestra huella de carbono. Dicha huella la medimos periódicamente y llevamos a cabo medidas de mitigación y compensación.
- Colaboramos a través de esta actividad con la Asociación de Amigos de los Caminos Tradicionales de Sobrarbe para la recuperación de caminos de uso tradicional que quedaron en desuso tras el declive y la despoblación de la comarca pirenaica durante la segunda mitad del siglo pasado.
- Durante toda la actividad damos gran importancia al componente interpretativo y de educación ambiental con el objetivo de fomentar el respeto, la preservación y la protección del medio ambiente.
Open map Valle de Barrosa, Bielsa (Huesca), España
Mountain route quite accessible for all audiences.
The Barrosa valley is located in the Sobrarbe-Pyrenees Geopark, which is part of the UNESCO World Geoparks network.
The route will be accompanied at all times by a qualified mountain guide, who is very knowledgeable about the region and its history.
Throughout the excursion we will make several interpretative stops at key points that will allow us to understand the geological processes that gave rise to these mountains, and how they determined man's relationship with them. The origin of the mountains of granite, slate, schist and limestone, and the formation of seams, will help us to understand the mining exploitation that took place for about 2,000 years, and especially the mining facilities of the early twentieth century, whose remains we will visit. Around one of the old shepherds' huts, nowadays transformed into a refuge for mountaineers, we will talk about the traditional life based on shepherding. In the surroundings of the glacial cirque we will travel to other times, 65,000 years ago, when ice covered these valleys and shaped them at the same time. This context will help us to learn about and reflect on climatic changes, both ancient and present.
In line with our ecotourist philosophy, in an environment that has been modified by man for thousands of years, our presence will leave only ephemeral traces, while we take with us knowledge, sensations and reflections about the mountains, a stronghold of biodiversity.
