Berrea del Ciervo

Get ready to witness an authentic natural spectacle as you observe these majestic animals at the peak of their mating season. Surrounded by natural spaces of indescribable beauty, you will discover the secrets of the Val d'Aran's wildlife.

We invite you to experience the thrill of observing and listening to the deer rut, an event that occurs during the mating season of these wild animals between September and October. The deer emit their characteristic roars, hoping to attract females and establish their dominance. This takes place in areas of the valley characterized by dense vegetation and wide clearings that facilitate the observation of deer and other forest inhabitants.

During this experience, we ask that you observe silently, without disturbing the peace of the wildlife or disrupting the natural balance of their environment. Remember, this activity requires standing most of the time, observing and listening to the animals in complete silence to avoid causing them stress. Therefore, wearing warm clothing is recommended to ensure comfort in all weather conditions.

It is important to note that ideal weather conditions for spotting wildlife often occur when it is raining, on foggy days, or when the sky is cloudy.

Get ready to live a unique experience in nature in the Val d'Aran!

When you complete your reservation, you will receive an attached voucher that you should open. In the "Notes" section, you will find a description of how to get to the meeting point where you need to go to participate in the activity. There will also be a Google Maps link that, when clicked, will guide you to the meeting point of your activity.

What happens if it rains?

If it rains, great! You will have a higher chance of seeing more wildlife. The ideal conditions for observing these animals are when it rains, there is fog, or low clouds.

Unless the guide decides to cancel the activity for safety reasons, it will proceed as planned. Not attending an excursion due to weather conditions will result in the loss of the amount paid.

Can I bring my dog/pet?

No, because they might bark and make noise, and the animals would smell them and get scared.

What happens if I don't arrive on time at my meeting point?

It is recommended to check both the weather conditions and the road status on the day of your activity. During peak seasons, there may be traffic jams, and it might take longer than usual to reach the different meeting points for the activities.
