A beautiful transitional port between the Le Ger river valley and the Garonne river valley

Nice view of Val d’Aran

Also, stop at the Là Soulan hostel for a well-deserved break. Very warm welcome. 👍

"The Vall de Boi is a narrow valley, carved deep into the Catalan Pyrenees. More than 1,000 years ago, seven small villages emerged in the valley, which no one would remember if nine Romanesque churches hadn't been built at that time. The isolation has contributed to the fact that at least some of these churches have been preserved almost in their original state," says the website for the television series "Treasures of the World - Heritage of Humanity." Comprising several hundred episodes, the series (in German) presents special places from all continents and eras that – despite all their diversity – have one thing in common: They have been awarded the honorary title of World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The film about the VALL DE BOI with its Romanesque churches is available in the ARD media library under the following link => https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/schaetze-der-welt/vall-de-boi-spanien-folge-260/swr/Y3JpZDovL3N3ci5kZS82ODk4NDYw

In fact, for the Aranese of the Val d'Aran, the real source, the Uelh dera Garona (eye of the Garonne), is located in the pastures of Plã de Béret, near the Baqueira Beret ski resort, therefore after Viehla BUT according to Norbert Casteret (search for the source with dyes in the 1930s), the main source is located to the east of the Maladeta massif, in Aragon, from the northern and eastern snowfields of the Aneto peak, whose water rushes into the Forau d'Aigualluts or Toro hole (altitude: 2,074 m), to change valleys by a resurgence at the Uelhs de Joeu (Eyes of the Jew) (at 1,658 m). It is at Plan dera Artiga de Lin (at the bottom of the small, almost uninhabited valley starting after the village of Es Bordes (instead of continuing on Viehla, leave the road on the right at Es Bordes to enter this small valley at the bottom of which is the resurgence)

Large village where we can find several bars and shops. From here we can go up to the gate or follow the valley of Aran, either up to find Vielha or towards Les. From Les we can take the Col de Menté, highly recommended, or go in search of the Col de Balés - incredible.

Good point to stop to take a photo of the Aran Valley that opens right in front of you.

Memory and emotion in front of this monument. Never forget that cycling, whether professional or amateur, can be dangerous. So be careful
