Meet the Marmots – Wildlife Watching & Nature Tracking in the Aran Valley
Did you know that marmots are one of the most charismatic symbols of alpine wildlife? On this half-day excursion, we’ll guide you through scenic mountain trails to observe them in their natural habitat—up close and responsibly.
Learn to recognize their alarm whistles, spot their burrows, and understand their behaviors, all with the help of a certified mountain guide specialized in Pyrenean fauna. Along the way, you’ll also discover hidden clues left by wild animals: footprints, droppings, scratch marks, food remnants, and more.
We’ll also track and interpret signs of roe deer, wild boars, foxes—and maybe even the elusive wildcat. This interactive, family-friendly experience blends hiking, discovery, and education in one of the most beautiful natural settings of the Pyrenees.
Because every footprint tells a story—and the forest is full of secrets.
