Couserando Nature Hike – Small world of rocks

A day of hiking to discover the high mountain flora and fauna (ibex, chamois, marmot, etc.).

The mountain pastures, with their endless lawns, punctuated only by rocks and scree, seem deserted. And yet, this environment is populated by extraordinary fauna and flora: chamois, Iberian ibex, stoat, marmot, rock ptarmigan, rock thrush, sedums and saxifrages… Species that have adapted to the difficult living conditions of the high mountains by different strategies.

Couserando invites you to go on an easy to medium level hike to discover this incredible little world of rocks. We will also discover the fabulous adaptation strategies adopted by the inhabitants of this environment.

Optical equipment (binoculars, telescope) will be made available for quality observation.
